--------------------------------------

>From my understanding, we have a new API in 0.22 that already allows this 
>precise behaviour. Can we close this JIRA?

> creating a file in hdfs should not automatically create the parent directories

> I think it would be better if HDFS didn't automatically create directories 
> for the user. In particular, in clean up code, it would be nice if deleting a 
> directory couldn't be undone by mistake by a process that hasn't been killed 
> yet creating a new file.
