Daryn Sharp commented on HDFS-7046:
-----------------------------------

I actually do not know when the issue was introduced.  Earlier versions may 
very well be affected.

> HA NN can NPE upon transition to active

>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: namenode
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.5.0
>            Reporter: Daryn Sharp
>            Priority: Critical

> While processing edits, the NN may decide after adjusting block totals to 
> leave safe mode - in the middle of the edit.  Going active starts the secret 
> manager which generates a new secret key, which in turn generates an edit, 
> which NPEs because the edit log is not open.
> # Transitions should _not_ occur in the middle of an edit.
> # The edit log appears to claim it's open for write when the stream isn't 
> even open
