Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-5124:
----------------------------------

bq. I think you may have more problems blocking the clients on the FSN lock 
during standby transition instead of throwing an exception immediately.

For one, if all reader threads are blocked on FSN lock, no more RPC calls will 
get through, even HA admin commands such as HA state transition. For example, 
if SBN was checkpointing holding the write lock and sufficient number of 
token-based rpc connections are made during this, HA admin command will get 
blocked until checkpointing is done. Such command is supposed to interrupt 
on-going checkpointing and initiate transition right away.
