> Not sure if this was intended, but hadoop namenode -format doesnt work anymore if the target directory doesnt exist due to the check in the NameNode.main(). It used to work earlier
> if (argv.length == 1 && argv[0].equals("-format")) {
> boolean aborted = false;
> File[] dirs = getDirs(conf);
> for (int idx = 0; idx < dirs.length; idx++) {
> if (dirs[idx].exists()) { <<<====== if dir doesnt exist it won't format
> System.err.print("Re-format filesystem in " + dirs[idx] +" ? (Y or N) ");
> if (!(System.in.read() == 'Y')) {
> System.err.println("Format aborted in "+ dirs[idx]);
> aborted = true;
> } else {
> format(dirs[idx]);
> System.err.println("Formatted "+dirs[idx]);
> }
> System.in.read(); // discard the enter-key

> System.exit(aborted ? 1 : 0);
