Directories

FileSystem provides a method to create a directory:

public boolean mkdirs(Path f) throws IOException

This method creates all of the necessary parent directories if they don’t already exist, just like the java.io.File’s mkdirs() method. It returns true if the directory (and all parent directories) was (were) successfully created.

Often, you don’t need to explicitly create a directory, because writing a file by calling create() will automatically create any parent directories.
