Akira AJISAKA updated HADOOP-8873: ---------------------------------- Release Note: FsShell mkdir now accepts a -p flag. Like unix, mkdir -p will not fail if the directory already exists. Unlike unix, intermediate directories are always created, regardless of the flag, to avoid incompatibilities. (was: FsShell mkdir now accepts a -p flag.
