Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-8277:
-------------------------------------
The issue with that is the same. We sometimes see flip-flopping due to
automatic failovers in overloaded clusters because the ZKFCs don't get a timely
response from the local NN. Not ideal but it happens. I wouldn't trust the safe
mode setting unless it was persisted in the edit log or set on both NNs.

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug

> HDFS fails to enter safemode when the Standby NameNode is down (eg. due to
> AMBARI-10536).
> {code}hdfs dfsadmin -safemode enter
> safemode: Call From nn2/x.x.x.x to nn1:8020 failed on connection exception:
> java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see:
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused{code}
> This appears to be a bug in that it's not trying both NameNodes like the
> standard hdfs client code does, and is instead stopping after getting a
> connection refused from nn1 which is down. I verified normal hadoop fs writes
> and reads via cli did work at this time, using nn2. I happened to run this
> command as the hdfs user on nn2 which was the surviving Active NameNode.
> After I re-bootstrapped the Standby NN to fix it the command worked as
> expected again.
