Philip Zeyliger commented on HDFS-5122:
---------------------------------------
Haohui,
Your patch doesn't seem to handle the possibility that the first namenode isn't
the currently active one. So it's not just not handling failover during the
lifetime of the client, but it's not handling a case where the configuration
happens to have the currently active namenode first. It seems like the code
ought to at least try to access (with a timeout) the namenode to see if it's
active, no?
