> In _ZKFailoverController.java_, the _Exception_ caught by the _run()_ method

> h5. The problem we encountered
> An _Exception_ is thrown from the _doRun()_ method during _initHM()_ (caused
> by a configuration error). If you want to repeat, you can set
> "_ha.health-monitor.connect-retry-interval.ms_" to be any nonsensical value.

> Unfortunately, the Exception (causing the shutdown of the process) is *not
> logged at all*. This causes latent errors which is only manifested during
> failover (because ZKFC is dead). The tricky thing here is that everything
> looks perfectly fine: the _jps_ command shows a running
> DFSZKFailoverController process and the two NameNode (active and standby)
> work fine.

> We strongly suggest to add a error log to notify the error caught, such as,
