Daryn Sharp updated HADOOP-8175:
--------------------------------
Target Version/s: 0.24.0, 0.23.2 (was: 0.23.2, 0.24.0)
Release Note: FsShell mkdir now accepts a -p flag. Like unix, mkdir -p
will not fail if the directory already exists. Unlike unix, intermediate
directories are always created, regardless of the flag, to avoid
incompatibilities at this time.
> Add mkdir -p flag

> 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)
