Answer 1

Use the below code to Move/Rename files from Azure Data Lake Store folder.

If you want to rename the file, keep the dest_path as same.

If you want to move the files across folders then provide the destination folder path starting with "/"

DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient _adlsFileSystemClient = new DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient();

public static void Move(string src_path, string dest_path)
                {
                    _adlsFileSystemClient.FileSystem.Rename(_adlsAccountName, src_path, dest_path);
                }

Calling Method for Renaming the file:

Move(_sourcePath + filename, _destinationPath + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)+".tsv");

Calling Method for Moving the file:

Move(_sourcePath + filename, _destinationPath + filename);
