Konstantin Shvachko updated HADOOP-1242:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: failPreUpgradeVersion.patch

This patch leaves old storage (for data-nodes) and old image (for name-nodes) 
files in the respective old directories after conversions in order to let old 
versions of Hadoop fail.
These files contain a message explaining their purpose, and particularly saying 
that they can be safely removed as long as the old versions are not supposed to 
be used.
I do not enforce creation of the old files if HDFS is created from scratch 
assuming it is not likely old Hadoops will run in those directories.

> I ran my test cluster on 0.13 and then tried to run it under 0.12. When I 
> downgraded, the namenode would not come up and the message said I needed to 
> format the filesystem. I ignored that and tried to restart on 0.13, now the
