throws an IOException that it couldn't create the file, but doesn't give
specific details
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1913
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1913
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hdfs client
Affects Versions: 0.20.2
Reporter: Kate Ting
It would be a lot more useful to print an error message indicating why that you
can't create the file - e.g. can't create a directory with the name of the file
you're trying to write to.
Also, the log file isn't much better. You'll see exceptions that look like this:
