Is Selenium 3.0 supports moveHover Operations(moveToElement) using Action Class?

Question

I am trying to perform mouseHover Operation in Java but getting Below Exception

org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: POST /session/10089ef9-f491-4b9c-a295-d9246dd39e02/moveto did not match a known command

Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver

Manual Step
Navigate to Website "http://www.fatcow.com/"
perform mouseHover on "create a Site" link

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class mousehover {

    WebDriver driver;

    @Test
    public void start()
    {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\rkumar\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");
        driver  = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.navigate().to("http://www.fatcow.com/");
        Actions action = new Actions(driver);
        WebElement createAsite = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create a Site"));
        WebElement original = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Original FatCow"));
action.moveToElement(createAsite).moveToElement(original).click().build().perform();

What version of firefox browser do you have installed? v3.0.0 ====== IMPORTANT CHANGES * Firefox is only fully supported at version 47.0.1 or earlier. Support for later versions of firefox is provided by geckodriver, which is based on the evolving W3C WebDriver spec, and uses the wire protocol in that spec, which is liable to change without notice. * You may wish to choose an ESR release such as 45.4.0esr or earlier. * Firefox 47.0.0 is not supported at all. — MikeJRamsey56, Dec 10 '16 at 16:27
My general advice is to drop back to selenium v2.53.0 and firefox browser 47.0. — MikeJRamsey56, Dec 10 '16 at 16:30
Note [Marionette and geckodriver are not yet feature complete. This means it does not yet offer full conformance with the WebDriver standard or complete compatibility with Selenium.](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver). I don't like living on the edge, even though visiting can be fun. — MikeJRamsey56, Dec 10 '16 at 16:32

Mouse hover operation can be achieved with Java script executor(without action classes):

String javaScript = "var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');"
            + "evObj.initMouseEvent(\"mouseover\",true, false, window, 0, 0, 
0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);"
            + "arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);";
    ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(javaScript, hoverElement);
    assertion
