[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8175) Add mkdir -p flag

Add mkdir -p flag
-----------------

                 Key: HADOOP-8175
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8175
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 0.24.0
            Reporter: Daryn Sharp
            Assignee: Daryn Sharp


Users require the ability to create a directory iff it doesn't exist.  Currently, running FsShell's mkdir twice will result in an already exists error.  The unix mkdir -p flag won't fail if the directory already exists.  Per parent jira, pig project would also like this feature.

(Eventually mkdir should probably also stop creating all intermediate dirs unless -p is given, but that's an incompatible change)
