Description

this is a bit misleading:

$ hdfs  dfs -mkdir /nonexistent/newdir
mkdir: `/nonexistent/newdir': No such file or directory

I think this command should fail because "nonexistent" doesn't exists...
the correct would be:

$ hdfs  dfs -mkdir /nonexistent/newdir
mkdir: `/nonexistent': No such file or directory
