[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6229) Atempt to make a directory under an existing file on LocalFileSystem should throw an Exception.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6229?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12750207#action_12750207 ]

Does throwing a FileAlreadyExistsException (a new class) make more sense in this case?
