Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-8241: ------------------------------------------- Historically, initial implementation of upgrade HADOOP-702 did not have the finalize startup option, only the admin command. {{StartupOption.FINALIZE}} was requested later HADOOP-1604 because people wanted to be able to start new software even if they forgot to {{-finalizeUpgrade}} before shutting down the cluster. > Remove unused Namenode startup option "FINALIZE" > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-8241 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8241 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.7.0 > Reporter: Brahma Reddy Battula > Assignee: Brahma Reddy Battula > Attachments: HDFS-8241.patch > > > Command : hdfs namenode -finalize > 15/04/24 22:26:23 INFO namenode.NameNode: createNameNode [-finalize] > *Use of the argument 'FINALIZE' is no longer supported.* To finalize an > upgrade, start the NN and then run `hdfs dfsadmin -finalizeUpgrade' -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
