Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-6897:
------------------------------------------------

Map/Reduce could just replace it with two or three lines of codes.

I forgot to mention that there is another drawback about the static mkdir(..).  
Some users calling it do not realize that it is actually more expensive 
compared with the non-static mkdir(..) -- it requires one more rpc calls.

> FileSystem#mkdirs(FileSystem, Path, FsPermission) should not call 
> setPermission if mkdirs failled

> Here is the piece of code that has the bug. fs.setPermission should not be 
> called if result is false.
> {code}
>   public static boolean mkdirs(FileSystem fs, Path dir, FsPermission 
> permission)
>   throws IOException {
>     // create the directory using the default permission
>     boolean result = fs.mkdirs(dir);
>     // set its permission to be the supplied one
>     fs.setPermission(dir, permission);
>     return result;
