I have a namenode whose fsimage is corrupted and i only have one fsimage available. I have a secondarynamenode which has the checkpoints available.
Now, i wanted to importCheckpoint to a new directory.
Old directory: cd /home/rakeshbharadwaj/Desktop/hadoop-2.7.4-ex2/nn
New directory: I have changed in hdfs-site.xml to /home/rakeshbharadwaj/Desktop/hadoop-2.7.4-ex2/new
I tried to run hdfs namenode importcheckPoint and it gave me the following error
19/02/26 12:38:51 INFO common.Storage: Lock on /home/rakeshbharadwaj/Desktop/hadoop-2.7.4-ex2/new/in_use.lock acquired by nodename 5270@rakeshbharadwaj-VirtualBox

So, i have formatted the namenode by running hdfs namenode -format. And the format was successful. After the format there a new image formed fsimage_0000000000000000000
Now, i ran the hdfs namenode -importCheckpoint again and it gave me the following error.
19/02/26 12:30:47 WARN namenode.FSNamesystem: Encountered exception loading fsimage
java.io.IOException: Cannot import image from a checkpoint. NameNode already contains an image in /home/rakeshbharadwaj/Desktop/hadoop-2.7.4-ex2/n

Question: How do i solve this and get the fsimage from the checkpoint in the new directory.
