Description

Adding new JournalNodes to HDFS can cause lead to problems. If for example a user starts with one node and then add two more for resilience the cluster won't start since only one node out of three has a valid journal. If a new journal node is added to a cluster it should bootstrap from an existing one to avoid this situation.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the HDFS JournalNode handling in the operator and determine how a newly added node can bootstrap from an existing valid journal. Done means a cluster expanded from one to three JournalNodes starts successfully with all journals valid.
