    Description

      according to
      http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileContext.html#mkdir%28org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path,%20org.apache.hadoop.fs.permission.FsPermission,%20boolean%29

      should throw a FileAlreadyExistsException if the directory already exists.

      I tested this and

      FileContext lfc = FileContext.getLocalFSFileContext(new Configuration());
      Path p = new Path("/tmp/bobby.12345");
      FsPermission cachePerms = new FsPermission((short) 0755);
      lfc.mkdir(p, cachePerms, false);
      lfc.mkdir(p, cachePerms, false);
      

      never throws an exception.
