Chen Liang commented on HDFS-12979:
-----------------------------------

Post v003 patch which uses the alternative approach of having more than one 
primary checkpointers. Namely, different ANN/Observer can have different SbN as 
their primary. 

Upside is that no need to add the new http code, and the image uploading 
workload gets distributed across SbNs; Downside is that   it seems ANN/Observer 
could have different images on their disk because of different primary check 
pointers, so when system restart, there is a possibility that they may pick up 
different images then ANN/Observer could potentially run into different txids. 
Which may or may not be a problem. Still need to verify this, if yes, we need 
to be careful about this.

Any thoughts [~shv]?

> StandbyNode should upload FsImage to ObserverNode after checkpointing.

> ObserverNode does not create checkpoints. So it's fsimage file can get very 
> old making bootstrap of ObserverNode too long. A StandbyNode should copy 
> latest fsimage to ObserverNode(s) along with ANN.
