[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-8551) fs -mkdir creates parent directories without the -p option

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8551?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Daryn Sharp updated HADOOP-8551:
--------------------------------

    Release Note: FsShell's "mkdir" no longer implicitly creates all non-existent parent directories.  The command adopts the posix compliant behavior of requiring the "-p" flag to auto-create parent directories.

No, this doesn't affect yahoo.  Our customers have already updated their jobs that require multi-level directory creation.
