Description

As best as I understood, anytime bigtop is deployed (new or old environment) it proceeds to init/format the specified data folders (mounted disks).
It could be very nice if this initialization can be done automatically by default but it can be disabled on occurrence.
I digged a bit in the deploy code a does not look to be a big deal but I am worried about the Kubernetes "kinit" of which I do not know much.
