Sijie Guo commented on BOOKKEEPER-1099:
---------------------------------------
How to reliably check if you need bookieformat is tricky. Any misconfiguration
or bug can easily destroy the data. Also it is so hard to manage such
configuration in large scale.
Formatting a bookie typically happen on new bookies, only when you do cluster
expansions. This is part of bookie lifecycle management and typically tight to
the deployment procedure.
> Make bookie automatically create folders on new machine.
