Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-11094:
-----------------------------------

bq. For the unit test, can we set a very large heartbeat interval in 
configuration, and check the active NN is not null after 
cluster.waitForActive()?
I think the existing tests are quite adequate. I understand that a full-blown 
mini cluster is sometimes needed to test the distributed file system. However, 
we should avoid adding such end-to-end tests if it is possible to have 
reasonable unit tests.

> The datanode should know which NN is active when it is connecting/registering 
> to the NN. Currently, it only figures this out during its first (and 
> subsequent) heartbeat(s) and so there is a period of time where the datanode 
> is alive and registered, but can't actually do anything because it doesn't 
> know which NN is active. A byproduct of this is that the MiniDFSCluster will 
> become active before it knows what NN is active, which can lead to NPEs when 
> calling getActiveNN().
