Ayush Saxena commented on HDFS-14998:
-------------------------------------
[~ferhui] you need to exactly copy paste the words, if you have understood what
[~csun] meant to say, you can write in your words, what you feel shall convey
the meaning to all.
Let me clear it once more, Earlier ZKFC was not allowed to run, on the node
running Observer Namenode, since ZKFC wasn't aware what about ONN, it used to
transition it to Standby, so it was mandatory to turn the ZKFC off on Observer
Namenode, if you want to use the feature.
In the present scenario, ZKFC is aware about Observer Namenode, it doesn't
bother the Observer Namenode, so you can have ZKFC running on the Observer
Node, it is now not compulsory to turn it off. But it is not required for a
person to turn it on for normal working of Observer since Observer can not
participate in failover, But if a user has a usecase where he keeps on changing
the state of Observer to Standby back and forth depending on load or some
condition (Either manually or through scripts), he can keep the ZKFC running so
as when the Namenode is moved to Standby State it can participate in Automatic
Failover, With ZKFC being aware of the ONN, this will shed the need of turning
on and off the ZKFC when the namenode transitions states.
We are just being suggestive, not forcing any user to choose any way, whatever
his use case may be he can go ahead, What Chao mentioned is one use case where
ZKFC can be kept running on ONN. If someone doesn't have such a use case, he is
free to turn the ZKFC off.
You can frame it in your own words, Whatever way you think you can convey the
user correctly in less words, shall be fine for both of us.
[~csun] correct me, if I have gone wrong in the concept somewhere.
