Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-8873:
-----------------------------------------
[~ajisakaa] I took a quick look at HADOOP-8175. The way I understand it is
(correct me if I am wrong):
# Behavior of mkdir without -p flag remains the same
# mkdir with -p does not fail if the target directory already exists.
Given that this is compatible, we should be able to get this into branch-1.
> 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.
