Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-3163. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed I'm going to close this out as fixed. Between HCFS and the new FileContext, I think this issue is done. > FS.mkdirs()'s contract is unclear. > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3163 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3163 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Reporter: Raghu Angadi > > {{FileSystem.mkdirs()}} returns a boolean but does not specify what a return > value of true or false means. For e.g. HDFS returns never returns false > (until HADOOP-3138). > Should it be consistent with java.io.File.mkdirs()? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
