Jerry He commented on HBASE-8519:
---------------------------------
The missing part seems to be this.
The backup master only check the clusterStateZNode once at the end when it
wakes up and tries to be master again.
It is not notified if the clusterStateZNode has ever been up or not before that.
The real 'stop' case is: clusterStateZNode up --> clusterStateZNode down
The backup master needs to watch for clusterStateZNode. If it is not aware
clusterStateZNode has ever been up
or was up in its whole life, it should treat it as not a real 'stop' case at
the end.
The if condition would become:
{code}
..
if (clusterHasBeenUp && !clusterStatusTracker.isClusterUp()) {
this.master.stop(
"Cluster went down before this master became active");
}
..
{code}
Comments, please.

> 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'.
