Marcelo Vanzin commented on SPARK-11074:
----------------------------------------

bq. they don't get the "it just works" behavior that I think we should be 
trying to provide.

They have to explicitly enable logs; why is it bad that Spark complains if 
they've chosen to write logs to a location that doesn't exist?

That doubles as a good indication that the user forgot to set the log directory 
in the first place, since the default is kinda useless.

> Attempt to automatically create event log directory if it doesn't already 
> exist

> Right now, if the log where event logs are to be placed (spark.eventLog.dir) 
> doesn't already exist, the SparkContext fails to start.  We should try to 
> automatically create this directory.
