Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-8432:
-------------------------------------
The test failures look unrelated and do not repro locally. They look like the
problem that was just reported in HDFS-8434.
> Introduce a minimum compatible layout version to allow downgrade in more
> rolling upgrade use cases.

> Maintain the prior layout version during the upgrade window and reject
> attempts to use new features until after the upgrade has been finalized.
> This guarantees that the prior software version can read the fsimage and edit
> logs if the administrator decides to downgrade. This will make downgrade
> usable for the majority of NameNode layout version changes, which just
> involve introduction of new edit log operations.
