Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-1974: --------------------------------------- > It is the same notion to me. NameNode in current implementation cannot > transition from one role to another. But in HA world it should. I think we are discussing this in HDFS-2141. Lets continue there. > HA: Introduce active and standby states to the namenode > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1974 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1974 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: name-node > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Attachments: HDFS-1974.patch > > > Currently namenode supports active, secondary and backup roles. To support > namenode high availability, active and standby states are needed. Note that > this is different from the existing notion of namenode role, where a namenode > cannot transition from one role to the other. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
