Hello, today there are only two canRenameTo implementations in VFS2, the AbstractFileObject one which does just check if the file is on the same VFS filesystem instance and HdfsFileObject which overwrites this with UnsupportedOperation.
For the HdfsFileObject I think it is best to remove this special version [VFS-523], as no other file system provider (even the ones which do not have RENAME Capability) do this. However I wonder how usefull the canRenameTo. It does neighter check if it is the same file, if the provider does support rename nor are there any smarter specific implementations. For example for the LocalFileObject I could imagine to actually check if it is on the same OS file system. I guess it is hard to know if a rename across multiple VFS filesystems (even when they point to the same backend store) is possbiel, so it is ok to always return false if the filesystem instances differ.
