Lars Hofhansl commented on HDFS-6440:
-------------------------------------
[~eli], this is the issue I mentioned on Wednesday.
I find it hard to believe that we're the only ones who want this, it's running
in production at Salesforce. What's holding this up? How can we help getting
this in? Break it into smaller pieces? Something else?
> Support more than 2 NameNodes

> Key: HDFS-6440
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6440
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: auto-failover, ha, namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Jesse Yates
> Assignee: Jesse Yates
> Attachments: Multiple-Standby-NameNodes_V1.pdf,
> hdfs-6440-cdh-4.5-full.patch, hdfs-6440-trunk-v1.patch,

> Most of the work is already done to support more than 2 NameNodes (one
> active, one standby). This would be the last bit to support running multiple
> _standby_ NameNodes; one of the standbys should be available for fail-over.
> Mostly, this is a matter of updating how we parse configurations, some
> complexity around managing the checkpointing, and updating a whole lot of
> tests.
