------------------------------
After talking with [~rakeshr], I will work on this issue. Thanks.
> QJM: don't require a fencer to be configured if shared storage has built-in
> single-writer semantics

> Key: HDFS-3862
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3862
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: ha
> Affects Versions: QuorumJournalManager (HDFS-3077)
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Yi Liu
>
> Currently, NN HA requires that the administrator configure a fencing method
> to ensure that only a single NameNode may write to the shared storage at a
> time. Some shared edits storage implementations (like QJM) inherently enforce
> single-writer semantics at the storage level, and thus the user should not be
> forced to specify one.
> We should extend the JournalManager interface so that the HA code can operate
> without a configured fencer if the JM has such built-in fencing.
