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

Hi [~surendrasingh], just for my curiosity, what is the use case for 
reformatting JNs?

 

> Journal Nodes should allow to format non-empty directories with "-force" 
> option

> HDFS-11112 completely restricted to re-format journalnode, but it should be 
> allowed when *"-force"* option is given. If user fill force option can 
> accidentally delete the data then he can disable it by configuring 
> "*dfs.reformat.disabled*"
