Harsh J Chouraria commented on HDFS-1636:
-----------------------------------------
I'd like some input on how to test if a case has called for CLI input or not?
Or I could whip up a t-case where if it does not hang waiting for a CLI input
would mean it passed (no real assertions?).
> If dfs.name.dir points to an empty dir, namenode format shouldn't require
> confirmation

> 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.
