> 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. 
> https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/common/Storage.java#L526-L545
> 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.
