    Details

    • Type: Bug
    • Status: Closed
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Affects Version/s: 0.23.3, 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0-alpha1
    • Fix Version/s: 0.23.3, 2.0.2-alpha
    • Component/s: fs
    • Labels:
      None
    • Target Version/s:
    • Hadoop Flags:
      Incompatible change
    • Release Note:
      FsShell's "mkdir" no longer implicitly creates all non-existent parent directories. The command adopts the posix compliant behavior of requiring the "-p" flag to auto-create parent directories.

      Description

      hadoop fs -mkdir foo/bar will work even if bar is not present. It should only work if -p is given and foo is not present.
