fail over to loading a different FSImage if the first one we try to load is 
corrupt

                 Key: HDFS-3277
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3277
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe


Most users store multiple copies of the FSImage in order to prevent 
catastrophic data loss if a hard disk fails.  However, our image loading code 
is currently not set up to start reading another FSImage if loading the first 
one does not succeed.  We should add this capability.

We should also be sure to remove the FSImage directory that failed from the 
list of FSImage directories to write to, in the way we normally do when a write 
(as opopsed to read) fails.
