The FAILURE does not mean the failure of the commit but the failure of some unit tests. > Document HA support in the HDFS HdfsDesign.md > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-8914 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8914 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 2.7.1 > Environment: Documentation page in live > Reporter: Ravindra Babu > Assignee: Lars Francke > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 2.8.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-8914.1.patch, HDFS-8914.2.patch > > > Please refer to these two links and correct one of them. > http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsDesign.html > The NameNode machine is a single point of failure for an HDFS cluster. If the > NameNode machine fails, manual intervention is necessary. Currently, > automatic restart and failover of the NameNode software to another machine is > not supported. > http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HDFSHighAvailabilityWithQJM.html > The HDFS High Availability feature addresses the above problems by providing > the option of running two redundant NameNodes in the same cluster in an > Active/Passive configuration with a hot standby. This allows a fast failover > to a new NameNode in the case that a machine crashes, or a graceful > administrator-initiated failover for the purpose of planned maintenance. > Please update hdfsDesign article with same facts to avoid confusion in > Reader's mind.. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
