Danilo Vunjak commented on HDFS-6597:
-------------------------------------

Hi guys,
You have point when saying -force is not right name. I would pick -upgradeOnly 
as maybe best option. What is your opinion?
[~jingzhao]
Yes, NN is included in all services. Datanodes need it up to upgrade itself.

Thanks,
Danilo

> Currently when namenode is started for upgrade (hadoop namenode -upgrade 
> command), after finishing upgrade of metadata, namenode starts working 
> normally and wait for datanodes to upgrade itself and connect to to NN. We 
> need to have option for upgrading only NN metadata, so after upgrade is 
> finished on NN, process should terminate.
> I have tested it by changing in file: hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.java, 
> method: public static NameNode createNameNode(String argv[], Configuration 
> conf):
>  in switch added
>  case UPGRADE:
> case UPGRADE:
>       {
>         DefaultMetricsSystem.initialize("NameNode");
>           NameNode nameNode = new NameNode(conf);
>           if (startOpt.getForceUpgrade()) {
>                 terminate(0);
>                 return null;
>           }
>           
>           return nameNode;
>       }
> This did upgrade of metadata, closed process after finished, and later when 
> all services were started, upgrade of datanodes finished sucessfully and 
> system run .
> What I'm suggesting right now is to add new startup parameter "-force", so 
> namenode can be started like this "hadoop namenode -upgrade -force", so we 
> can indicate that we want to terminate process after upgrade metadata on NN 
> is finished. Old functionality should be preserved, so users can run "hadoop 
> namenode -upgrade" on same way and with same behaviour as it was previous.
>  Thanks,
>  Danilo
