Description

It's a known defect of the Hadoop FS API (and one we don't explicitly test for enough), but you can create a file on a path which doesn't exist. In that situation, the create() logic is expectd to create the entries.

Wasb appears to raise an exception if you try to call create(filepath) without calling mkdirs(filepath.getParent() first. That's the semantics expected of createNonRecursive()
