Jerry He commented on HBASE-8519:
---------------------------------
bq. If you kill the master while it's shutting down the cluster and you try to
restart HBase, it will have the same error and will go down (and the cluster
won't even come up).
Can you give more details on the sequence of events?
bq. All you need is the master and the shutdown znodes in place when starting
HMaster.
If the shutdown/clusterStateZNode znode exists, we will be ok thru this code,
correct?
{code}
..
if (!clusterStatusTracker.isClusterUp()) {
this.master.stop(
"Cluster went down before this master became active");
}
..
{code}
The master znode is ephemeral, and the clusterStateZNode is persistent.
> Backup master will never come up if primary master dies during initialization

> Key: HBASE-8519
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8519
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master
> Affects Versions: 0.94.7, 0.95.0
> Reporter: Jerry He
> Assignee: Jerry He
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.98.0
>
>
> The problem happens if primary master dies after becoming master but before
> it completes initialization and calls clusterStatusTracker.setClusterUp(),
> The backup master will try to become the master, but will shutdown itself
> promptly because it sees 'the cluster is not up'.
