Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-7302: ------------------------------------------- Downgrade actually can be done in a rolling fashion as shown in HDFS-7230. So the "-rollingUpgrade downgrade" startup option is indeed not very useful. I suggest removing it. > namenode -rollingUpgrade downgrade may finalize a rolling upgrade > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7302 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7302 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Reporter: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze > Assignee: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze > > The namenode startup option "-rollingUpgrade downgrade" is originally > designed for downgrading cluster.
