dfs mkdir command differs from POSIX standards ----------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2195 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2195 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Affects Versions: 0.15.1, 0.16.0 Reporter: Mukund Madhugiri Fix For: 0.16.0 Assuming the dfs commands follow POSIX standards, there are some problems with the DFS mkdir command. I compared the DFS output with that of RHEL 4u5: 1. mkdir a directory that exists: Linux: mkdir: cannot create directory `test': File exists DFS: No output 2. mkdir a directory with the name of a file that already exists: - Linux: mkdir: `test/one' exists but is not a directory - DFS: mkdir: java.io.IOException: Invalid directory name: <home directory>/test/one -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
