> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Environment: Documentation page in live
> Reporter: Ravindra Babu
> Assignee: Lars Francke
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: HDFS-8914.1.patch

> Please refer to these two links and correct one of them.
> http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsDesign.html
> The NameNode machine is a single point of failure for an HDFS cluster. If the
> NameNode machine fails, manual intervention is necessary. Currently,
> automatic restart and failover of the NameNode software to another machine is
> not supported.
> http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HDFSHighAvailabilityWithQJM.html
> The HDFS High Availability feature addresses the above problems by providing
> the option of running two redundant NameNodes in the same cluster in an
> Active/Passive configuration with a hot standby. This allows a fast failover
> to a new NameNode in the case that a machine crashes, or a graceful
> administrator-initiated failover for the purpose of planned maintenance.
> Please update hdfsDesign article with same facts to avoid confusion in
> Reader's mind..
