1.delete

1.1 如果是文件，args1设置是否recursive。

1.2 如果是目录，只能删除最后一级目录和里面的文件，如果设为true，删除目录失败时，会抛异常。

1.3 delete(Path f)已经deprecated，delete(Path f, boolean recursive)

  /** Delete a file.
   *
   * @param f the path to delete.
   * @param recursive if path is a directory and set to 
   * true, the directory is deleted else throws an exception.In
   * case of a file the recursive can be set to either true or false. 
   * @return  true if delete is successful else false. 
   * @throws IOException
   */
  public abstract boolean delete(Path f, boolean recursive) throws IOException;  

2.deleteOnExit(Path f)

给一个文件打个标记，等fs关闭，会自动删除，这个文件必须存在，如果删除失败，fs关闭时会返回错误

3.rename

须知：

1. 类似于mv，根据目录是否改变改名或更换位置。执行后，源文件就没了
2. 目标文件不能存在，目标目录必须存在。一般先用exists和mkdir创建一下。
3. 源路径是目录时，目标路径必须为目录，且必须存在。
4. 跨文件系统的移动（local到hdfs或者反过来）都是不允许的
5. rename时如果dstPath已经有，不会执行rename，不会覆盖，而是返回false

  /**
   * Renames Path src to Path dst.  Can take place on local fs
   * or remote DFS.
   * @param src path to be renamed
   * @param dst new path after rename
   * @throws IOException on failure
   * @return true if rename is successful
   */
  public abstract boolean rename(Path src, Path dst) throws IOException;

  /**
   * Renames Path src to Path dst
   * <ul>
   * <li
   * <li>Fails if src is a file and dst is a directory.
   * <li>Fails if src is a directory and dst is a file.
   * <li>Fails if the parent of dst does not exist or is a file.
   * </ul>
   * <p>
   * If OVERWRITE option is not passed as an argument, rename fails
   * if the dst already exists.
   * <p>
   * 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.
   * <p>
   * 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.
   * <p>
   * This method is deprecated since it is a temporary method added to 
   * support the transition from FileSystem to FileContext for user 
   * applications.
   * 
   * @param src path to be renamed
   * @param dst new path after rename
   * @throws IOException on failure
   */
  @Deprecated
  protected void rename(final Path src, final Path dst,
      final Rename... options)

4.mkdirs

须知：

6. mkdirs(Path f) == mkdirs(f, FsPermission.getDirDefault())
7. FsPermission是要创建的文件的权限
8. mkdirs相当于mkdir -p，会创建多级目录
