Ayush Saxena commented on HDFS-14961:
-------------------------------------
In this case, when the Namenode Joined election it was a Standby Namenode only.
It is very much allowed to participate in election. We can't predict when it
started participating in the election that by the time conclusion will come,
the Namenode will turn to OBSERVER.
I think The case isn't that OBSERVER participated in election, It just received
the result of the previous participation.
I think that is very much doable at the namenode side itself, by checking
whether the state is OBSERVER and the instruction is from ZKFC, as it was
OBSERVER, who doesn't need to participate. The ZKFC worked as normal and
intended. Maybe staying at the culprit side(Namenode side) feels little safe to
me. As it clarifies the idea directly, that ONN ignores any ZKFC calls as it is
prohibited to participate in ZK election.
> Prevent ZKFC changing Observer Namenode state

> HDFS-14130 made ZKFC aware of the Observer Namenode and hence allows ZKFC
> running along with the observer NOde.
> The Observer namenode isn't suppose to be part of ZKFC election process.
> But if the Namenode was part of election, before turning into Observer by
> transitionToObserver Command. The ZKFC still sends instruction to the
> Namenode as a result of previous participation and sometimes tend to change
> the state of Observer to Standby.
> This is also the reason for failure in TestDFSZKFailoverController.
> TestDFSZKFailoverController has been consistently failing with a time out
> waiting in testManualFailoverWithDFSHAAdmin(). In particular
> {{waitForHAState(1, HAServiceState.OBSERVER);}}.
