Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-13749:
--------------------------------------------

I agree with [~zero45]. As with SafeMode command, dfsadmin first required 
superuser privileges for SAFEMODE_GET, see HADOOP-2659. But then get operation 
was relaxed to be available for regular users.
I think we can do the same for {{getServiceStatus()}}. Don't see harm in 
knowing the HA state of NN. Unless I'm missing something.

> Implement a new client protocol method to get NameNode state

> Currently {{HAServiceProtocol#getServiceStatus}} requires super user 
> privilege. Therefore, as a temporary solution, in HDFS-12976 we discover 
> NameNode state by calling {{reportBadBlocks}}. Here, we'll properly implement 
> this by adding a new method in client protocol to get the NameNode state.
