Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-12420:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for this improvement [~ajayydv]. Couple of comments, in addition to the
test case as suggested by Rushabh:
# Let's also make the -force option a no-op. We can continue to accept it but
it should have no effect and we should print a warning saying that the force
option is being ignored.
# Same with the -nonInteractive option.
> Disable Namenode format when data already exists

> Disable NameNode format to avoid accidental formatting of Namenode in

> they can first delete the metadata dir and then run {code} hdfs namenode
> -format{code} manually.
