[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-14255) S3A to delete unnecessary fake directory objects in mkdirs()

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14255?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mingliang Liu updated HADOOP-14255:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
In S3AFileSystem, as an optimization, we delete unnecessary fake directory objects if that directory contains at least one (nested) file. That is done in closing stream of newly created file. However, if the directory becomes non-empty after we just create an empty subdirectory, we do not delete its fake directory object though that fake directory object becomes "unnecessary".

So in {{S3AFileSystem::mkdirs()}}, we have a pending TODO:
{quote}
  // TODO: If we have created an empty file at /foo/bar and we then call
  // mkdirs for /foo/bar/baz/roo what happens to the empty file /foo/bar/?
  private boolean innerMkdirs(Path p, FsPermission permission)
{quote}

This JIRA is to fix the TODO: provide consistent behavior for a fake directory object between its nested subdirectory and nested file by deleting it.

See related discussion in [HADOOP-14236]. Thanks [~stevel@apache.org] for discussion.
