Doug Cutting commented on MAPREDUCE-972:
----------------------------------------

> Extending the FileSystem API is a non-starter [ ... ]

Isn't the FileSystem API mid-rewrite right now in HADOOP-6223?  So now might 
actually be the rare time to consider something like this.  It's unfortunate 
that Rename.Options is an Enum, so it'd be hard to add a progress function 
there without changing that.  Perhaps Rename.Options.OVERWRITE could still be a 
constant, but Rename.Options#createProgress(Progressible) could return a 
subclass of Rename.Options that wraps a Progressible or somesuch.  I don't mean 
to push this approach, rather just to question whether it should be ruled out 
completely.  If it seems reasonable for file rename implementations to take a 
long time, then adding a progress callback might be a reasonable approach.

> rename() in S3 is implemented as copy + delete. The S3 copy operation can 
> perform very slowly, which may cause task timeout.
