Description

Currently `hdfs namenode -bootstrapStandby' initializes local name dirs with fsimage files, but not edit log segments, thus requiring that an operator ensure somehow that sufficient edit log segments are in the shared dir or otherwise make it to the standby. It would be nice if this happened automatically.
