Description

The mkdir command supports the -p option which instructs hdfs to create all the parent directories if needed. The single nose setup instructions now ask a user to create both /user and /user/<username> directories explicitly, which can be simplified to creating just the /user/<username> with the help from the -p option of mkdir
