             Summary: Data directories can be removed erroneously
                 Key: KUDU-1966
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1966
             Project: Kudu
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Adar Dembo
            Assignee: Adar Dembo


Kudu data directories can be removed in between starts of a server, which will 
lead to tablet bootstrap failures. There exists logic to protect against this 
(see 
[PathInstanceMetadataFile::CheckIntegrity()|https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/master/src/kudu/fs/block_manager_util.h#L78]),
 but it was missing a key check to ensure that no directory had been removed 
from the set.

To be clear, we do want to support removing data directories, but in a more 
structured and protected manner. For the time being, we should close this 
loophole.
