Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-4816:
-----------------------------------
Another option would be to run the checkpoint upload in a separate thread, so
that we don't block on it while becoming active. It's OK for the transfer to
continue even as the NN goes into active state, since it's just transferring an
immutable file anyway.
> transitionToActive blocks if the SBN is doing checkpoint image transfer

> Key: HDFS-4816
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4816
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Andrew Wang
>
> The NN and SBN do this dance during checkpoint image transfer with nested
> HTTP GETs via {{HttpURLConnection}}. When an admin does a
> {{-transitionToActive}} during this transfer, part of that is interrupting an
> ongoing checkpoint so we can transition immediately.
> However, the {{thread.interrupt()}} in {{StandbyCheckpointer#stop}} gets
> swallowed by {{connection.getResponseCode()}} in
> {{TransferFsImage#doGetUrl}}. None of the methods in HttpURLConnection throw
> InterruptedException, so we need to do something else (perhaps HttpClient
> [1]):
