Philip Zeyliger commented on HDFS-3207:
---------------------------------------
The difference is that one would try the failover as if fencing was configured
to shell(true) and the other wouldn't even do the RPC shutdown. You make a
good point; they could be strung together reasonably.
> Mechanism for HA failover to ignore fencing errors

> If an administrator wants to ignore fencing (perhaps because he knows that
> the other namenode has been taken out of comission for sure, but the fencing
> is ssh-based), there should be a flag to the failover command to allow this.
