----------------------------------------------
Thanks [~arpitagarwal] for looking in to this issue.
bq. if the other NN comes back and there is a failover for any reason.
Same problem will come if both NN in safe mode and one namenode got restarted.
I think restart case we should handle in new Jira, but here safe mode command
should not fail if one NN is down.
> Safemode enter fails when Standby NameNode is down

> Key: HDFS-8277
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8277
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ha, HDFS, namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Environment: HDP 2.2.0
> Reporter: Hari Sekhon

> HDFS fails to enter safemode when the Standby NameNode is down (eg. due to
> AMBARI-10536).
> {code}hdfs dfsadmin -safemode enter
> safemode: Call From nn2/x.x.x.x to nn1:8020 failed on connection exception:
> java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see:
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused{code}
> This appears to be a bug in that it's not trying both NameNodes like the
> standard hdfs client code does, and is instead stopping after getting a
> connection refused from nn1 which is down. I verified normal hadoop fs writes
> and reads via cli did work at this time, using nn2. I happened to run this
> command as the hdfs user on nn2 which was the surviving Active NameNode.
> After I re-bootstrapped the Standby NN to fix it the command worked as
> expected again.
