Description

I was investigating Sqoop failure where Sqoop wasn't able to create directory for LOB files. All I got was following exception:

2015-10-07 10:15:46,991 FATAL [IPC Server handler 9 on 40374] org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskAttemptListenerImpl: Task: attempt_1444198475064_0002_m_000000_0 - exited : org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=jarcec, access=WRITE, inode="/":hdfs:supergroup:drwxr-xr-x

The reason for writing into root directory is that the parent directory of the path do not exists and hence Sqoop tries to create them with mkdirs call. It would be helpful if Sqoop would print the path.
