Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-12975:
--------------------------------------------

Also was thinking about the startup sequence. I think it wouldn't be right to 
use a configuration variable to identify, which nodes are observers. NameNodes 
can transition back and force in run-time, while the config file will not be up 
to date with these changes. So we should stick to option (1) above that is 
explicitly transition standbys to observers via an admin command.
