### Description of PR Standby NameNode crashes when transitioning to Active with a in-progress tailer. And the error message as blew: ```java Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot start writing at txid X when there is a stream available for read: ByteStringEditLog[X, Y], ByteStringEditLog[X, 0] at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLog.openForWrite(FSEditLog.java:344) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLogAsync.openForWrite(FSEditLogAsync.java:113) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.startActiveServices(FSNamesystem.java:1423) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode$NameNodeHAContext.startActiveServices(NameNode.java:2132) ... 36 more ``` After tracing and found there is a critical bug in `EditlogTailer#catchupDuringFailover()` when `DFS_HA_TAILEDITS_INPROGRESS_KEY` is true. Because `catchupDuringFailover()` try to replay all edits with `onlyDurableTxns` is true. It may cannot replay any edits when they are some abnormal JournalNodes. Reproduce method, suppose: - There are 2 namenode, namely NN0 and NN1, and the status of echo namenode is Active, Standby respectively. And there are 3 JournalNodes, namely JN0, JN1 and JN2. - NN0 try to sync 3 edits to JNs with started txid 3, but only successfully synced them to JN1 and JN3. And JN0 is abnormal, such as GC, bad network or restarted. - NN1's lastAppliedTxId is 2, and at the moment, we are trying failover active from NN0 to NN1. - NN1 only got two responses from JN0 and JN1 when it try to selecting inputStreams with `fromTxnId=3` and `onlyDurableTxns=true`, and the count txid of response is 0, 3 respectively. JN2 is abnormal, such as GC, bad network or restarted. - NN1 will cannot replay any Edits with `fromTxnId=3` from JournalNodes because the `maxAllowedTxns` is 0. So I think Standby NameNode should `catchupDuringFailover()` with `onlyDurableTxns=true` , so that it can replay all missed edits from JournalNode. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
