I am trying to format a filesystem (below) following the online doc
 
 
--------------------------------------------
 $ bin/hadoop namenode -format
--------------------------------------------
 
I got the following error message:
 
--------------------------------------------
DEPRECATED: Use of this script to execute hdfs command is deprecated.
Instead use the hdfs command for it.
....
 
Formatting using clusterid: CID-22948dd2-0f38-4ecb-a5ff-2d2e1d24285d
