If others would like to comment, see HDFS-1960: dfs.*.dir should not default to /tmp (or other typically volatile storage). I won't speak to other usability issues like NameNode format failing silently (which bit me, too), because they merely slow me down. This one has enormous negative consequences, and "fails unsafe," so I'm following it up. When I told everyone why the dev cluster died, there were a lot of chins on the floor, so keep in mind that about 5 veteran database guys are agreeing with me on this particular JIRA. -- Tim Ellis Riot Games
