Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-5138:
---------------------------------------
[~atm], I am looking at this patch. As I see this, I feel this change should
include design details. Some questions that come to mind:
# In documentation you say " [[2]] Both NNs must be started with the
<<<'-upgrade'>>> flag." Does this mean both the namenodes should be available
during upgrade or does it just mean that namenodes must be started with
-upgrade. One of the namenode can first upgrade (and possibly be finalized) and
later second NN can be upgraded?
# When active namenode is performing shared edits upgrade, if it fails, does
fail over occur to the standby and does the new active resume the upgrade?
Same question for finalize and rollback.
# In documentation "The operator should run the roll back command on one of the
NN boxes,...", could have issues related to which NN is chosen. It must be on
the one where upgrade has been previously done right?
# Given the rollback procedure, where bootstrapStandby muste be done on one of
the NNs, why not just upgrade a single namenode (without worrying about two
namenodes racing to upgrade etc.) and just follow the same procedure as
rollback to simplify this?

> With HA enabled, NN wo't start with "-upgrade". Since there has been a layout
> version change between 2.0.x and 2.1.x, starting NN in upgrade mode was
> necessary when deploying 2.1.x to an existing 2.0.x cluster. But the only way
> to get around this was to disable HA and upgrade.
> The NN and the cluster cannot be flipped back to HA until the upgrade is
> finalized. If HA is disabled only on NN for layout upgrade and HA is turned
> back on without involving DNs, things will work, but finaliizeUpgrade won't
> work (the NN is in HA and it cannot be in upgrade mode) and DN's upgrade
> snapshots won't get removed.
> We will need a different ways of doing layout upgrade and upgrade snapshot.
> I am marking this as a 2.1.1-beta blocker based on feedback from others. If
> there is a reasonable workaround that does not increase maintenance window
> greatly, we can lower its priority from blocker to critical.
