             Summary: Ability to disallow safemode NN to become active
                 Key: HDFS-14201
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14201
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: auto-failover
    Affects Versions: 2.9.2, 3.1.1
            Reporter: Xiao Liang
            Assignee: Xiao Liang


Currently with HA, Namenode in safemode can be possibly selected as active, for 
availability of both read and write, Namenodes not in safemode are better 
choices to become active though.

It can take tens of minutes for a cold started Namenode to get out of safemode, 
especially when there are large number of files and blocks in HDFS, that means 
if a Namenode in safemode become active, the cluster will be not fully 
functioning for quite a while, even if it can while there is some Namenode not 
in safemode.

The proposal here is to add an option, to allow Namenode to report itself as 
UNHEALTHY to ZKFC, if it's in safemode, so as to only allow fully functioning 
Namenode to become active, improving the general availability of the cluster.
