---------------------------------

             Summary: Newly added NN storage directory won't get initialized 
and cause space exhaustion
                 Key: HDFS-11714
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11714
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.7.3
            Reporter: Kihwal Lee
            Priority: Critical


When an empty namenode storage directory is detected on normal NN startup, it 
may not be fully initialized. The new directory is still part of "in-service" 
NNStrage and when a checkpoint image is uploaded, a copy will also be written 
there.  However, the retention manager won't be able to purge old files since 
it is lacking a VERSION file.  This causes fsimages to pile up in the 
directory.  With a big name space, the disk will be filled in the order of days 
or weeks.
