Harsh J commented on HADOOP-6897:
---------------------------------
I second Nicholas' comment:
bq. I think that the static mkdirs(..) is confusing to users. There are only a
few lines of codes inside. Why don't we just deprecate it now and remove it in
the future?
This should already be covered by the FileSystem#mkdir/mkdirs methods now. I do
not see why we should have a static method for mkdirs and create anymore.
> FileSystem#mkdirs(FileSystem, Path, FsPermission) should not call
> setPermission if mkdirs failled
