Description

When "dfs.namenode.checkpoint.dir" and "dfs.namenode.checkpoint.edits.dir" are configured to an invalid value.
Started NN,DN and SNN

At the SNN side checkpoint does not happens and exception is thrown continously
Expected:
==========
When all the configured values are invalid then Secondary Namenode need not continue and keeps throwing exception for every checkpointing period
Instead the SNN should get shutdown throwing an exception as Illegal Argument passed.

SNN side logs:
