Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-3163.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I'm going to close this out as fixed.  Between HCFS and the new FileContext, I think this issue is done.

> {{FileSystem.mkdirs()}} returns a boolean but does not specify what a return value of true or false means. For e.g. HDFS returns never returns false (until HADOOP-3138).
> Should it be consistent with java.io.File.mkdirs()?
