Summary: LocalFileContext does not throw an exception on mkdir for already existing directory Key: HADOOP-9438 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9438 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans Priority: Critical according to http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileContext.html#mkdir%28org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path,%20org.apache.hadoop.fs.permission.FsPermission,%20boolean%29 should throw a FileAlreadyExistsException if the directory already exists. I tested this and {code} FileContext lfc = FileContext.getLocalFSFileContext(new Configuration()); Path p = new Path("/tmp/bobby.12345"); FsPermission cachePerms = new FsPermission((short) 0755); lfc.mkdir(p, cachePerms, false); lfc.mkdir(p, cachePerms, false); {code} never throws an exception. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
