Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-14067:
--------------------------------------------

??if we manually transition a standby to observer, ZK will still keep the old 
state and even make the observer eligible for election, which is incorrect.??

Yes keeping Observer as Standby in ZK is incorrect. Can we change the state in 
ZK for Observer? We now can change state from Standby to Active and vice versa. 
Should we be able to change it the same way for Standby to/from Observer 
transitions?

> Allow manual failover between standby and observer

> 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.
