Arpit Gupta commented on HDFS-3094:
-----------------------------------

bq. should be -nonInteractive (not a capital 'A')
done

bq. Rename getisForce to just isForce or isForceEnabled().

done

Updated tests to not use a different thread and sleep


bq. It looks like if you specify invalid options, it won't give any kind of useful error message. You should probably be throwing HadoopIllegalArgumentException instead of returning null in several of these cases.

Left as is, as returning null causes usage to be printed which will show the correct format.

> Currently the bin/hadoop namenode -format prompts the user for a Y/N to setup the directories in the local file system.
> -force : namenode formats the directories without prompting
> -nonInterActive : namenode format will return with an exit code of 1 if the dir exists.
