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!
