Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-11112:
--------------------------------------

Sorry I couldn't respond earlier. [~jojochuang] that is correct, if the format 
request comes in via RPC then the JN skips the check for non-empty directories.

> Journal Nodes should refuse to format non-empty directories

> Journal Nodes should reject the {{format}} RPC request if a storage directory 
> is non-empty. The relevant code is in {{JNStorage#format}}.
> {code}
>   void format(NamespaceInfo nsInfo) throws IOException {
>     setStorageInfo(nsInfo);
> ...
>     unlockAll();
>     sd.clearDirectory();
>     writeProperties(sd);
>     createPaxosDir();
>     analyzeStorage();
> {code}
> This would make the behavior similar to {{namenode -format -nonInteractive}}.
