Akira AJISAKA commented on HADOOP-8873:
---------------------------------------
Sorry, I understand mkdir fails if the directory that you are creating exists
on 1.2.
Do you mean only HADOOP-8175 should be backported?
> Port HADOOP-8175 (Add mkdir -p flag) to branch-1

> Per HADOOP-8551 let's port the mkdir -p option to branch-1 for a 1.x release
> to help users transition to the new shell behavior. In Hadoop 2.x mkdir
> currently requires the -p option to create parent directories but a program
> that specifies it won't work on 1.x since it doesn't support this option.
