Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-5889:
----------------------------------------------
Thanks. It actually cannot send NameNodeFile.IMAGE_UPGRADE file since it can
only send NameNodeFile.IMAGE files. Will also change it to support
IMAGE_UPGRADE.
> When rolling upgrade is in progress, standby NN should create checkpoint for
> downgrade.

> After rolling upgrade is started and checkpoint is disabled, the edit log may
> grow to a huge size. It is not a problem if rolling upgrade is finalized
> normally since NN keeps the current state in memory and it writes a new
> checkpoint during finalize. However, it is a problem if admin decides to
> downgrade. It could take a long time to apply edit log. Rollback does not
> have such problem.
