Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-281:
--------------------------------

        Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)
    Resolution: Fixed

I just committed this.  Thanks, Wendy!

Ben: yes, it would be a feature, but a feature with many bugs.  There are lots 
of places in the current API that assume files are distinct from directories.  
So, perhaps, in a separate issue, we could discuss adding this as a feature 
(and how we'd implement it on linux and windows), but, for now, the most 
consistent thing to do is treat it as a bug.

> dfs.FSDirectory.mkdirs can create sub-directories of a file!
