Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> S3A to delete unnecessary fake directory objects in mkdirs()
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-14255

> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: fs/s3

>
> In S3AFileSystem, as an optimization, we delete unnecessary fake directory
> objects if that directory contains at least one (nested) file. That is done
> in closing stream of newly created file. However, if the directory becomes
> non-empty after we just create an empty subdirectory, we do not delete its
> fake directory object though that fake directory object becomes "unnecessary".
> So in {{S3AFileSystem::mkdirs()}}, we have a pending TODO:
> {quote}
> // TODO: If we have created an empty file at /foo/bar and we then call
> // mkdirs for /foo/bar/baz/roo what happens to the empty file /foo/bar/?
> private boolean innerMkdirs(Path p, FsPermission permission)
> {quote}
> This JIRA is to fix the TODO: provide consistent behavior for a fake
> directory object between its nested subdirectory and nested file by deleting
> it.
> See related discussion in [HADOOP-14236]. Thanks [[email protected]] for
> discussion.
