Stephan Ewen created FLINK-8373: ----------------------------------- Summary: Inconsistencies in some FileSystem directory functions Key: FLINK-8373 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8373 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Reporter: Stephan Ewen Assignee: Stephan Ewen Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.5.0
There are some minor differences in the behaviors of some File System functions, like {{mkdirs()}}. On some filesystems, it tolerates existing directories or files in place of parent directories. Some return false in an error case, some throw an exception. I encountered this during writing tests for the file basted state backends. We should harmonize the behavior of {{FileSystem.mkdirs()}}. I suggest to adopt the behavior that is used by HDFS, which seems the most correct one. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
