[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-281) dfs.FSDirectory.mkdirs can create sub-directories of a file!

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-281?page=all ]

Arun C Murthy updated HADOOP-281:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: mkdirs.patch

I have attached a fairly simple patch which essentially checks to ensure that all existing components of the path are directories by checking while 'collecting' the parents in dfs.FSDirectory.mkdirs.

This patch also necessiated (straightforward) changes to a few places where the return-value of 'mkdirs' wasn't being checked...

thanks,
Arun

> dfs.FSDirectory.mkdirs will merrily adds children to a directory tree node without checking whether it represents a directory. So it is possible to create a subdirectories of a file.
