Description

Currently, there is one init-hdfs.sh script which is responsible for creating folders in hdfs for other services like hbase, oozie etc.. This adds depedency between modules (for example, before starting hbase master, we need to ensure that this script is run) which gets further complicated in a scenario where different components run on different node. In order to avoid this, we can let the individual modules take care of creating respective folders in hdfs.
