------------------------------------

Is the concern about that the states could be cached somewhere? or potential
conflicts between manual and auto failover, where a standby could be involved
in both?
{quote}
I think more along the latter. Maybe let me rephrase my question: for what
reason are manual transitions between active and standby disallowed, and what
is different about the standby/observer transition that makes it allowed?
Intuitively it makes sense, but we should be careful about any assumptions that
we might break.

> Currently if automatic failover is enabled in a HA environment, transition
> from standby to observer would be blocked:
> {code}
> [hdfs@*** hadoop-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT]$ bin/hdfs haadmin -transitionToObserver ha2
> Automatic failover is enabled for NameNode at ****
> Refusing to manually manage HA state, since it may cause
> a split-brain scenario or other incorrect state.
> If you are very sure you know what you are doing, please
> specify the --forcemanual flag.
> {code}
> We should allow manual transition between standby and observer in this case.
