Chao Sun commented on HDFS-14998:
---------------------------------

Thanks [~ayushtkn] for sharing your thoughts. 

By disabling ZKFC on ObserverNameNodes, we are adding more operational overhead 
on users. They need to write extra scripts for the failover, potentially modify 
the NameNode startup script, etc. Also, in our environment we have ZKFC alerts 
on NameNode hosts, which we have to disable for observers. If we want to enable 
dynamic transitions between observer and SBN, we'll also need to enable/disable 
this alert dynamically on the hosts, which is not straightforward.

If we allow ZKFC running on Observer, users can pretty much just use the same 
operational workflow today for managing NameNodes. Therefore, IMO we should 
think whether it is necessary to ask users to do extra work if they want to use 
this feature.

> Update Observer Namenode doc for ZKFC after HDFS-14130
