Eli Collins commented on HDFS-2752:
-----------------------------------

Sorry for the lack of context, this came up in HDFS-2709. With multiple shared 
edits dirs a failure to read from one of them will prevent the edit log tailer 
from catching up, ie users are currently *less reliable* with multiple shared 
dirs. Until we know we've got it working reasonably well (ie have tests for the 
common scenarios) it doesn't seem like we should let people shoot themselves in 
the foot. And while nice to have, it doesn't seem like multiple shared dir 
support should block an initial release.  Agree?  Perhaps warn loudly instead 
of exit?
