Xiaobing Zhou created HDFS-9790: ----------------------------------- Summary: HDFS Balancer should exit with a proper message if upgrade is not finalized Key: HDFS-9790 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9790 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Xiaobing Zhou Assignee: Xiaobing Zhou
PROBLEM: Currently if the upgrade is not finalized the balancer just exits as it cannot move any blocks as no deletes can go through the datanodes before a finalize. This is not clear to customers as many in the field do not even understand what an upgrade finalized action does in HDFS. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Balancer should exit saying something like "Balancer exiting as upgrade is not finalized. Please finalize the hdfs upgrade before running the balancer" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
