I have always run Bookies in "embedded" mode, that is to run the bookie inside a JVM launched not but the standard shell script, and my usual start up procedure include a call to the Bookie format function.
It is already smart enough to leave the disk "as it is" if the layout is correct.

I think it would be good to add a bookie configuration option to run
{code:java}
BookKeeperAdmin.format(config, false, false)
{code}

This change is small, and I think it will simply the "docker" image too

If my proposal is OK I can file a PR or a BP and include it in 4.5.0

> When bookie start and found it need run bookie format to create folders it should do that automatically. That way will make new machine deployment and machine replacement process much simpler without manually call the bookieformat command.
