Description

The call to mkdirs with overwrite set to true results in an additional call to set properties (LMT update, etc) at the backend, which is not required for the HDFS scenario. Moreover, mkdirs on an existing file path returns success. This PR provides an option to set the overwrite parameter to false, and ensures that mkdirs on a file throws an exception.
