Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3363:
--------------------------------------
I'm not sure what you expect here. The filesystem has not yet been formatted,
right? If so, attempting to start a namenode should fail--we don't auto-format
filesystems. Are you proposing that the exception should be clearer?
> HDFS throws a InconsistentFSStateException when the name node starts up on a
