Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-6800:
-------------------------------------
James, rollingUpgrade is signaled in the heartbeat response if
{{FsNameSystem#rollingUpgradeInfo}} is set. IIRC it is not based on
{{isUpgradeFinalized}}.
> Determine how Datanode layout changes should interact with rolling upgrade

> We need to handle attempts to rolling-upgrade the DataNode to a new storage
> directory layout.
> One approach is to disallow such upgrades. If we choose this approach, we
> should make sure that the system administrator gets a helpful error message
> and a clean failure when trying to use rolling upgrade to a version that
> doesn't support it. Based on the compatibility guarantees described in
> HDFS-5535, this would mean that *any* future DataNode layout changes would
> require a major version upgrade.
> Another approach would be to support rolling upgrade from an old DN storage
> layout to a new layout. This approach requires us to change our
> documentation to explain to users that they should supply the {{\-rollback}}
> command on the command-line when re-starting the DataNodes during rolling
> rollback. Currently the documentation just says to restart the DataNode
> normally.
> Another issue here is that the DataNode's usage message describes rollback
> options that no longer exist. The help text says that the DN supports
> {{\-rollingupgrade rollback}}, but this option was removed by HDFS-6005.
