> Under certain circumstances, if the current/VERSION of a storage directory is
> missing, DataNode may format the storage directory even though _block files
> are not missing_.
> This is very easy to reproduce. Simply launch a HDFS cluster and create some
> files. Delete current/VERSION, and restart the data node.
> After the restart, the data node will format the directory and remove all
> existing block files:

> The bug is: DataNode assumes that if none of {{current/VERSION}},
> {{previous/}}, {{previous.tmp/}}, {{removed.tmp/}}, {{finalized.tmp/}} and
> {{lastcheckpoint.tmp/}} exists, the storage directory contains nothing
> important to HDFS and decides to format it. However, block files may still
> exist, and in my opinion, we should do everything possible to retain the
> block files.
> I have two suggestions:
> # check if {{current/}} directory is empty. If not, throw an
> InconsistentFSStateException in {{Storage#analyzeStorage}} instead of
> asumming its not formatted. Or,
> # In {{Storage#clearDirectory}}, before it formats the storage directory,
> rename or move {{current/}} directory. Also, log whatever is being
> renamed/moved.
