---------------------------------------------
Oh 1 other thing which is very minor, You have a TODO in your code. Please be
sure to file a follow up JIRA for it, or remove the TODO.

> Users require the ability to create a directory iff it doesn't exist.
> Currently, running FsShell's mkdir twice will result in an already exists
> error. The unix mkdir -p flag won't fail if the directory already exists.
> Per parent jira, pig project would also like this feature.
> (Eventually mkdir should probably also stop creating all intermediate dirs
> unless -p is given, but that's an incompatible change)
