Shweta commented on HDFS-13622:
-------------------------------
Thank you [~smeng] for your suggestion.
The issue with recursively checking the existence of top parent directory will
have an overhead of too many RPC calls. Also, the message indicated is
explanatory to the user that there is an issue with the immediate parent
directory.
> 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}
