---------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-8171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8171
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.24.0, 1.0.2
            Reporter: Arpit Gupta
            Assignee: Arpit Gupta


Currently the bin/hadoop namenode -format prompts the user for a Y/N to setup the directories in the local file system.

We should add a -force option which when present the user is not prompted.
