启动NameNode报NullPointerException

在Hadoop版本0.20.1, 0.21.0 存在一个bug，NameNode同步失败，current产生了一个edits.new，和fsimage同步时又出现异常，而SecondNameNode也产生了同样的目录结构和数据，并报如下异常：

Our secondary name node is not able to start on NullPointerException:

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

This was caused by setting access time on a non-existent file.

修改Hadoop源码：
