Answer 1

Scala code:

  def makePathRecursive(path: String) = {
    import java.io.File
    import scala.util.{Try, Failure, Success}

    val pathObj = new File(path)
    pathObj.exists match {
      case true => // do nothing
      case false => Try(pathObj.mkdirs) match {
        case Success(_) => // it worked 
        case Failure(e) => // maybe created meanwhile by another thread
          pathObj.exists match { 
          case false => throw new Exception(e)
          case _ =>  
        }
      }
    }
  }
