We use HDInsight with Spark, v3.6. So far, our code has been working as expected. As of last night, our job started failing. The error states that "output directory already exists". When looking at the blob storage, directories appear to be created as 'block blob' and not as directories.
Are there any suggestions on how to overcome this error?

It appears that there was an HDInsight update on September 28, which may have reached our region just now. However, the release notes don't mention any possible regressions or unsolved problems.
