public abstract class FileSystem
extends Configured
implements Closeable
```
An abstract base class for a fairly generic filesystem. It may be implemented as a distributed filesystem, or as a "local" one that reflects the locally-connected disk. The local version exists for small Hadoop instances and for testing.
All user code that may potentially use the Hadoop Distributed File System should be written to use a FileSystem object. The Hadoop DFS is a multi-machine system that appears as a single disk. It's useful because of its fault tolerance and potentially very large capacity.
The local implementation is LocalFileSystem and distributed implementation is DistributedFileSystem.

    Deprecated.
    Renames Path src to Path dst
    - Fails if src is a file and dst is a directory.
    - Fails if src is a directory and dst is a file.
    - Fails if the parent of dst does not exist or is a file.
    If OVERWRITE option is not passed as an argument, rename fails if the dst already exists.
    If OVERWRITE option is passed as an argument, rename overwrites the dst if it is a file or an empty directory. Rename fails if dst is a non-empty directory.
    Note that atomicity of rename is dependent on the file system implementation. Please refer to the file system documentation for details. This default implementation is non atomic.
    This method is deprecated since it is a temporary method added to support the transition from FileSystem to FileContext for user applications.
    Parameters:
    src - path to be renamed
    dst - new path after rename

    Returns a local File that the user can write output to. The caller provides both the eventual FS target name and the local working file. If the FS is local, we write directly into the target. If the FS is remote, we write into the tmp local area.
