Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1858:
--------------------------------------
I agree. I don't think it is really a bug either. It did not cause any
particular problem.
>From the shell, currently there does not seem to be a way to find if a
>particular directory exists. In that context, I tried if listing '..' might
>fail and indicate that such a directory does not exists.
> ".." for ls does not check for existence of its parent directory.
