Mkdir

Create <directory>, which might be one of:

<local_path>
hdfs://<path>
s3://<bucket>/<path>
sftp://<path>

With option ‘--parents’ no error if directory already exists and make parent directories as needed.

Each <directory> is of the form

[<scheme>://][[<user>@@]<host>[:<port>]]<path> ...

For scheme ‘hdfs://’ it calls function ‘evl_hdfs_mkdir’, which is by default ‘hdfs dfs -mkdir’.

For scheme ‘s3://’ it calls function ‘evl_s3_mkdir’.

For scheme ‘sftp://’ it calls function ‘evl_sftp_mkdir’.

   Mkdir hdfs:///some/path/
   Mkdir /some/local/machine/path/
   

2. Depends on environment, e.g. ‘PROD’/‘TEST’/‘DEV’, might be useful to be used this way:

   # on DEV:
   OUTPUT_DIR=/data/output
   # on PROD:
   OUTPUT_DIR=hdfs:///data/output
   

   and then in ‘evs’ file:

   Mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR"
