Review comment: I kind of feel the comments aren't necessary? The comment explains why we switched from `File#mkdirs()` to `Files.createDirectories()`, but IMO a comment should explain something that is confusing or unexpected, and if you just come across `Files.createDirectories()`, there's nothing strange about that. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
