Hi,

I am trying to create a repository in hdfs

1)elasticsearch.yml file:

```
security.manager.enabled: false
repositories.hdfs:
    uri: "hdfs://hostname:port/" # optional - Hadoop file-system URI
    path: "user/ESindex" # required - path with the file-system where data is stored/loaded

```

Note: the path is not created in hdfs.

when I try to create a repository now..it is getting created somewhere..It's not showing any error in elasticsearch..

```
PUT /_snapshot/hdfsbackup
{
  "type": "hdfs",
  "settings": {
    "path": "user/ESindex"
  }
}

```

response:

```
{
    "acknowledged": true
}

```

question : Is it hitting the hdfs and storing somewhere?..

1. when I try to create a repository in a path in hdfs which is already there and full persmisson ..I am getting error.

Please help.
