Hari Mankude commented on HDFS-2769: ------------------------------------ I am not sure if this solution #2 is going to be acceptable even in v1. Shared storage (or connectivity to shared storage) becomes the single point of failure. Network connections are bound to be flaky. Edit log writes are synchronous and if write errors result in active NN degrading to standby mode, then there is a good chance that this might happen in a data center. > HA: When HA is enabled with a shared edits dir, that dir should be marked > required > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2769 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2769 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: ha, name-node > Affects Versions: HA branch (HDFS-1623) > Reporter: Aaron T.

When a shared edits > dir is used, this should automatically be marked as required. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
