We can add > a simple check by having the NN make a getServiceState() RPC to its peer with > a short (~1 second?) timeout. If the RPC succeeds and indicates the other > node is active, it should refuse to enter active mode. If the RPC fails or > indicates standby, it can proceed. > This is just meant as a preventative safety check - we still expect users to > use the "-failover" command which has other checks plus fencing built in. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
