Tsz-wo Sze commented on RATIS-1668:
-----------------------------------
We propose to have the following failure handling:
- When there are more than one existing directories, throw an exception.
- When there is an existing directory, if it fails, throw an exception but not
try to initialize a new directory.
- When there is no existing directory, try to initialize a new directory from
the list specified in the configuration properties until a directory succeeded
or all directories failed.
> When there is an existing dir, if it fails, server should not initialize a
> new dir

> Currently, when there is an existing directory dirA, if dirA fails for some
> reason, RaftServer will try to initialize another directory dirB from the
> list specified in the configuration properties. Suppose dirB can be
> initialized successfully. The server can start at that time. However, when
> the server restarts, it may find dirA and dirB exist at the same time and
> then throw an exception. It is because the server cannot decide which one to
> use.
