Description

While running sanity check tests for HBASE-2312, I noticed that HDFS-617 did not include createNonRecursive() support for the LocalFileSystem. This is a problem for HBase, which allows the user to run over the LocalFS instead of HDFS for local cluster testing. I think this only affects 0.20-append, but may affect the trunk based upon how exactly FileContext handles non-recursive creates.

Issue Links

• depends upon: HDFS-617 Support for non-recursive create() in HDFS
• depends upon: HADOOP-6840 Support non-recursive create() in FileSystem & SequenceFile.Writer
• is required by: HBASE-2312 Possible data loss when RS goes into GC pause while rolling HLog
