Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-2141:
-------------------------------------------
I disagree with this change. NAMENODE is not a role. All of them are NameNodes.
The role is active, checkpoint, or standby.
I also do not understand what is the long term purpose of the change.
I think the HA work should be done in a branch.
Getting up to speed after vacation, Sorry if I missed any discussions in last
two weeks.

> In HDFS, following roles are supported in NameNodeRole: ACTIVE, BACKUP,
> CHECKPOINT and STANDBY.
> Active and Standby are the state of the NameNode. While Backup and CheckPoint
> are the name/role of the daemons that are started. This mixes up the run time
> state of NameNode with the daemon role. I propose changing the NameNodeRole
> to: NAMENODE, BACKUP, CHECKPOINT. HDFS-1974 will introduce the states active
> and standby to the daemon that is running in the role NAMENODE.
