> The Hadoop Offline Image Viewer tool has an undocumented 'feature' where it
> will silently delete the directory passed in with the -t flag. This blew away
> some important files when someone used a sensible, but ultimately poor choice
> for this directory as the deletion isn't documented.
> For example, if someone were, as root do: 'hdfs oiv -i
> fsimage_00000000000307052343 -p Delimited -t / -o image', bad things would
> happen. This behavior should be documented and probably have a dialog or
> throwing exception.
> There is a piece of code from PBImageTextWriter where a check can be added:
> {code:java}
> LevelDBMetadataMap(String baseDir) throws IOException {
> File dbDir = new File(baseDir);
> if (dbDir.exists()) {
> FileUtils.deleteDirectory(dbDir);
> }
> ...
> {code}
