[jira] [Comment Edited] (WHIRR-656) HDFS directory creation can
deadlock if the cluster being brought up is single node & preformatted
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13457074#comment-13457074 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
The install process can deadlock in directory creation
Conditions:
# there already exists a preformatted FS
# the only DN coming up is on the same machine
In this scenario,
# the {{start_namenode()}} function can block as dfsadmin waits to come out of safemode,
# NN will only do that once the block count is high enough
# the DN isn't started until the NN is started
# result: deadlock
Fix: don't create the dir structure if the FS was already there.
