> In high availability setup, with an active and standby namenode, there is a
> possibility of two namenodes sending commands to the datanode. The datanode
> must honor commands from only the active namenode and reject the commands
> from standby, to prevent corruption. This invariant must be complied with
> during fail over and other states such as split brain. This jira addresses
> issues related to this, design of the solution and implementation.
