Automatic move to safe-mode when cluster size drops ---------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-779 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-779 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: New Feature Components: name-node Reporter: Owen O'Malley As part of looking at using Kerberos, we want to avoid the case where both the primary (and optional secondary) KDC go offline causing a replication storm as the DataNodes' service tickets time out and they lose the ability to connect to the NameNode. However, this is a specific case of a more general problem of loosing too many nodes too quickly. I think we should have an option to go into safe mode if the cluster size goes down more than N% in terms of DataNodes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
