> 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.
