Description

Accumulo version 1.8.1.  When tserver log recovery fails in LogSorter.sort() and a FailedMarkerPath (failed) file is written to the recovery directory, subsequent recoveries fail due to the presence of this file.  In subsequent recovery attempts, when the subdirectories of the recovery root directory are iteratated over in the RecoveryLogReader constructor, the failed marker is interpreted as any other partial results directory and an exception is generated when the underlying data can not be read.  This happens even when a finished marker exists (both were present with the same timestamp - another issue?) because failed comes before finished alphabetically.
