Siyao Meng commented on HDFS-13622:
-----------------------------------
Later I thought it actually makes sense when the shell just returns the parent
directory doesn't exist, since we don't want to make too many RPC calls with
item.fs.exists().
The user should then try to mkdir the parent or just use -p.
> dfs mkdir should not report the directory which to be created

> this is a bit misleading:
> {code}
> $ hdfs dfs -mkdir /nonexistent/newdir
> mkdir: `/nonexistent/newdir': No such file or directory
> {code}
> I think this command should fail because "nonexistent" doesn't exists...
> the correct would be:
> {code}
> $ hdfs dfs -mkdir /nonexistent/newdir
> mkdir: `/nonexistent': No such file or directory
> {code}
