I have three servers. I run a python script a.py in server1 and a.py will connect to server2 which has hadoop client. Then, from server2, I need to check if server3 has hadoop directory dir_eg or not.

How to do this in a.py?

fab -H server2 exe_cmd_in_server2:hadoop fs -mkdir server3/dur_eg is the command to create that dir, but I need check if it exists

If you just want to avoid an error if the directory already exists you could use mkdir -p 'path'. If you want to know if the directory exists you can use fabric.contrib.files.exists.
