Harsh J resolved HDFS-92.
-------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

This goes against all recommendations in configuring the directories. I don't 
see why one would configure it this way that it'd lead to an obvious issue. 
Same is with merging mapred.local.dir and dfs.datanode.data.dir. Resolving as 
not a problem.

>                 Key: HDFS-92
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-92
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: gentoo linux on Intel/Dell w/ Sun JDK
>            Reporter: Brian Karlak
>
> I used a hadoop-site.xml conf file like:
>   <property>
>     <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
>     <value>/data01/hadoop</value>
>     <description>Dirs to store data on.</description>
>   </property>
>   <property>
>     <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
>     <value>/data01/hadoop/tmp</value>
>     <description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
>   </property>
> This file will format the namenode properly.  Upon startup with the 
> bin/start-dfs.sh script, however, the /data01/hadoop/tmp/dfs/name directory 
> is silently wiped out.  This foobars the namenode, but only after the next 
> DFS stop/start cycle.  (see output below)
> This is obviously a configuration error first and foremost, but the fact that 
> hadoop silently corrupts itself makes it tricky to track down.
