Description

With HADOOP-8551 (>=23.3 or >=2.0.2-alpha), its not possible to do a dfs -mkdir of foo/bar when foo does not exist. One has to use '-p' option (not available in Hadoop 20.x). A bunch of our test cases rely on this feature and this was to make it interoperable with Windows too (HIVE-3204). However, all these unit tests fail when using Hadoop >=23.3 or >=2.0.2-alpha. Its also not possible to use the '-p' option in the tests as thats not supported in Hadoop 20.x.
