Miguel Pereira created ACCUMULO-1556:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Initialize could use a better warning when HDFS dir is
already populated
Key: ACCUMULO-1556
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1556
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Miguel Pereira
Priority: Minor
When attempting to initialize Accumulo and the instance.dfs.dir is pointing at
a directory in HDFS which has already been initialized, you get a very
undescriptive warning message which doesn't actually say refer to the fact that
this is an HDFS directory.
{noformat}
[util.Initialize] FATAL: It appears this location was previously initialized,
exiting ...
{noformat}
It would be better to be explicit and tell the user that their
$instance.dfs.dir value already has been initialized in HDFS instead of leaving
that up to the user to discern.
