Jian He commented on YARN-5709:
-------------------------------

bq. yarn.resourcemanager.ha.automatic-failover.embedded
For the original hadoop-common's elector, I agree we should keep using this 
config, otherwise, it's incompatible.
But for the curator-based implementation. I feel we can avoid this config. One 
less config is one step easier to config HA. This config looks like a 
placeholder for future implementation only, which can never be set to false as 
of now. IMHO, instead, a ZK-FC-based-elector config can be added later if it's 
really implemented in the future. 
bq. Any reason we are not replacing the implementation? Do we just want to be 
safe and have a workaround in case the curator-based elector turns out to 
broken? 
Yeah, just intends to be safe. 
bq. If that is the case, the config that determines the implementation should 
be removed in a subsequent release and accordingly be called out @Unstable. We 
should likely not list it in yarn-default.xml.
agree
bq.  If we do decide on moving the initialization, we should move it for both 
implementations and not just one. 
Agree we can move both. 
bq. However, if we were to implement a ZKFC-based elector, that would have to 
depend on the AdminService to affect any transitions at all. I believe Bikas 
has recommended we keep the same code path irrespective of whether leader 
election is embedded. I see merit to that argument.
Didn't actually get the argument about keeping the same code path... If  
EmbeddedElectorService  is moved outside of AdminService, it still uses the 
same code path. EmbeddedElectorService -> AdminService -> 
transitionToActive/Standby.   For ZKFC-based elector, it's the same.  IIUC, 
whether EmbeddedElectorService is initialized inside AdminService or outside 
does not affect reusing the same code path. And conceptually 
EmbeddedElectorService does not look like a sub-service of AdminService..

>    Affects Versions: 2.8.0

> While reviewing YARN-5677 and YARN-5694, I noticed we could make the 
> curator-based election code cleaner. It is nicer to get this fixed in 2.8 
> before we ship it, but this can be done at a later time as well. 
> # By EmbeddedElector, we meant it was running as part of the RM daemon. Since 
> the Curator-based elector is also running embedded, I feel the code should be 
> checking for {{!curatorBased}} instead of {{isEmbeddedElector}}
> # {{LeaderElectorService}} should probably be named 
> {{CuratorBasedEmbeddedElectorService}} or some such.
> # The code that initializes the elector should be at the same place 
> irrespective of whether it is curator-based or not. 
> # We seem to be caching the CuratorFramework instance in RM. It makes more 
> sense for it to be in RMContext. If others are okay with it, we might even be 
> better of having {{RMContext#getCurator()}} method to lazily create the 
> curator framework and then cache it.
