+1, the updated patch looks good to me.

 QJM: validate journal dir at startup
 

 Key: HDFS-3795
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3795
 Project: Hadoop HDFS
  Issue Type: Sub-task
  Components: ha
Affects Versions: QuorumJournalManager (HDFS-3077)
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Assignee: Todd Lipcon
Priority: Minor
 Attachments: hdfs-3795.txt, hdfs-3795.txt


 Currently, the JN does not validate the configured journal directory until it 
 tries to write into it. This is counter-intuitive for users, since they would 
 expect to find out about a misconfiguration at startup time, rather than on 
 first access. Additionally, two testers accidentally configured the journal 
 dir to be a URI, which the code accidentally understood as a relative path 
 ({{CWD/file:/foo/bar}}.
 We should validate the config at startup to be an accessible absolute path.

# Instead of !dir.getPath().startsWith(/) how about !dis.isAbsolute() ?
# If the path is not a directory, this will fail with a misleading error 
message:
{code}
+if (!dir.isDirectory()  !dir.mkdirs()) {
+  throw new IOException(Could not create journal dir ' +
+  dir + ');
+}
{code}

Patch looks good otherwise.
