If dfs.name.dir points to an empty dir, namenode format shouldn't require confirmation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1636 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1636 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: name-node Affects Versions: 0.23.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Priority: Minor Right now, running namenode -format when dfs.name.dir is configured to a dir which exists but is empty still asks for confirmation. This is unnecessary since it isn't blowing away any real data. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
