[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3071?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-3071: ------------------------------ Attachment: hdfs-3071.txt Attached patch updates the javadoc for getServiceStatus. I didn't use GenericTestUtils in that test, because the test was in Common whereas GenericTestUtils is in HDFS. Might be worth moving but didn't want to pollute this patch with the move. I'll run the HA tests locally and also run through the manual test scenario again. > haadmin failover command does not provide enough detail for when target NN is > not ready to be active > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3071 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3071 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ha > Affects Versions: 0.24.0 > Reporter: Philip Zeyliger > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: hdfs-3071.txt, hdfs-3071.txt, hdfs-3071.txt, > hdfs-3071.txt > > > When running the failover command, you can get an error message like the > following: > {quote} > $ hdfs --config $(pwd) haadmin -failover namenode2 namenode1 > Failover failed: xxx.yyy/1.2.3.4:8020 is not ready to become active > {quote} > Unfortunately, the error message doesn't describe why that node isn't ready > to be active. In my case, the target namenode's logs don't indicate anything > either. It turned out that the issue was "Safe mode is ON.Resources are low > on NN. Safe mode must be turned off manually.", but ideally the user would be > told that at the time of the failover. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
