Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-2866: -------------------------------------- bq. I would appreciate if hdfs-2874 is closed as a dup of this one. But they're distinct issues. In this JIRA, the NNs were effectively configured with two shared edits dirs, although only one was configured as being shared. A single failover caused a problem. In HDFS-2874, there's only one shared dir (i.e. correct configuration) but on a failover and failback, the once-active NN may read from the local dir and not the shared dir first, and thus end up with overlapping ranges of transactions. You can obviously leave open both HDFS-2865 and HDFS-2866 if you want, but they seem like the same issue to me. > Standby does not start up due to a gap in transaction id > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2866 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2866 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: ha > Affects Versions: HA branch (HDFS-1623) > Reporter: Hari Mankude > Priority: Critical > > Standby notices a gap in the transaction id in the shared.edits directory. > The transactions in dfs.edits.dir does not seem to have the gap.
