> Whenever I try to copy data from local to a cluster, but forget to create the
> parent directory first, I get a very confusing error message:
> {code}
> $ whoami
> fs111
> $ hadoop fs -ls /user
> Found 2 items
> drwxr-xr-x - fs111 supergroup 0 2014-08-11 20:17 /user/hive
> drwxr-xr-x - vagrant supergroup 0 2014-08-11 19:15 /user/vagrant
> $ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal data data
> copyFromLocal: `data': No such file or directory
> {code}
> From the error message, you would say that the local "data" directory is not
> existing, but that is not the case. What is missing is the "/user/fs111"
> directory on HDFS. After I created it, the copyFromLocal command works fine.
> I believe the error message is confusing and should at least be fixed. What
> would be even better, if hadoop could restore the old behaviour in 1.x, where
> copyFromLocal would just create the directories, if they are missing.
