Gabor Bota commented on HADOOP-16201: ------------------------------------- That's because there's no such thing as directory in S3. However we have to handle directories in metadata stores. For reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/using-folders.html > S3AFileSystem#innerMkdirs does not create parent directories > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-16201 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16201 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lokesh Jain > Assignee: Lokesh Jain > Priority: Major > > S3AFileSystem#innerMkdirs currently does not create parent directories. The > code checks for the existence of the parent directories and if they do not > exist, it adds them to metadataStoreDirs list. But this list is not used and > therefore the parent directories are never created. Only the given directory > path is created. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
