Look at the log time. The namenode is already switching. ZKFC log Is written after the namenode is swiched. Timeline... 1. Something? What happened? The log does not record. 2. 2014-08-01 04:21:03,608 HA switching 3. 2014-08-01 04:21:03,601 Zookeeper session timeout 4. 2014-08-01 04:21:03,728 Namenode shutdown 5. 2014-08-01 04:21:03,703 Zookeeper session disconnected

From the log, looks like the connections between NameNodes and ZK quorum are not stable. And the ZK session is time-out. You can check the log of the Zookeeper servers. You may find some errors about the connection failure. On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 2:06 PM, cho ju il <tjst...@kgrid.co.kr> wrote: Why does suddenly ha switching?
