@RAUI Yes there is another way of achieving this. You can use the method copy() from the FileUtil class and pass your FileSystem object to it to effectively copy your files from the source HDFS location to the target. As with using rename() you will need to ensure you target directory is created before calling copy. FileUtil.copy() has a signature where you provide a source and destination FS and in this case you would provide the same FS object since you are looking to copy files to a different location on the same HDFS. There is also a boolean option to delete the source file after the copy if that fits your use case.
