amith commented on HDFS-3347:
-----------------------------

Can we silently ignore from adding this stream into journal set by catching the 
exception so that NN can become fully active so that fix can be simple instead 
of reverting the state of NN back to standby.
 
                
> NullPointerException When trying to log to editstreams
