Hi, I'm following the Hadoop 1.1.1 tutorial (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.1.1/single_node_setup.html) and I have these questions:

1.) The Standalone Operation (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.1.1/single_node_setup.html#Local), just to confirm, can run without any DFS filesystem? (We're not being asked to run "bin/hadoop namenode -format" for it.)

2.) For Pseudo-Distributed Operation (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.1.1/single_node_setup.html#PseudoDistributed), where we are instructed to run "bin/hadoop namenode -format", question: how do I undo whatever that command does? I.e., how do I delete that distributed file system created as well as remove from Hadoop any knowledge of its prior existence -- do I have to manually delete files with OS commands (what do I remove?) or is there some type of "bin/hadoop namenode -delete" command that undoes the "-format" command?

Thanks,
Glen
