Chao Sun commented on HDFS-12975:
---------------------------------
Thanks [~shv] for taking a look! I've fixed the changes for the 1) and 3), and
currently is working on a way to let observer participate in failover. There
are some complexities:
According to the design, during failover we want to choose SBN over Observer if
the former is available. Therefore, the logic in {{ZKFailoverController}} will
need to change.
First, for graceful failover, I'm thinking about associating each target with a
flag indicating whether it is a "preferred" target (e.g., SBN).
In {{ZKFailoverController::doGracefulFailover()}} we will then check the flag
of the local target against all the flags of the other nodes, and determine the
action (e.g., when local target is non-preferred and there exists at least one
preferred target in other nodes, quit the election).
Second, for the case of "ungraceful" failover, such as ANN crash, it seems more
difficult. The current mechanism is to have all the available candidates to
compete for the ZK lock, so there is no way for them to communicate and
coordinate such that SBN will be preferred.
I'll continue to look into this. But let me know if you have any good
suggestions.
