Chen Liang commented on HDFS-13779:
-----------------------------------

I see, so I guess the incremented {{currentIndex}} only takes effect when 
{{invoke}} gets called next time, by which time {{getFilteredProxies}} will 
return a different list with those proxies being removed. This is the part I 
was missing, thanks for the clarification!

But this led me think about another situation: it seems to me that {{getProxy}} 
can be called at any point of time. And {{getProxy}} will trigger 
{{getAllProxies}} which further triggers {{refreshProxyState}}. And 
{{refreshProxyState}} calls {{refreshState}} of each NN, which may change 
{{isObserver}} to either true or false. In short, the value of {{isObserver}} 
could change at any point of time due to {{getProxy}}. So when {{invoke}} gets 
called each time, there seems no guarantee what will (not) be in the list 
returned from {{getFilteredProxies}} with regard to the previous state. Is this 
a valid case?

> Currently {{ObserverReadProxyProvider}} inherits {{performFailover()}} method 
> from {{ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider}}, which simply increments the index 
> and switches over to another NameNode. The logic for ORPP should be smart 
> enough to choose another observer, otherwise it can switch to a SBN, where 
> reads are disallowed, or to an ANN, which defeats the purpose of reads from 
> standby.
> This was discussed in HDFS-12976.
