It looks like the NN is having trouble after reading in the VERSION file, which
contains the new layout version. We can continue the discussion in the jira.

Subject: Re: Issue in Rollback (after rolling upgrade) from hadoop 2.7.2 to
2.5.2
Hi Dinesh!
This is obviously a very hazardous situation you are in (if your data is
important), so I'd suggest moving carefully. Make as many backups of as
many things you can.
The usual mechanism that Hadoop uses when upgrading is to rename
directories of the old format and keep them around until the admin
finalizes the upgrade. Here is the relevant method :
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/branch-2.7.2/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/namenode/FSImage.java#L388
. You will probably have to dig into code and see what operations were
performed, where the failure occurred, and figure out how best to fix it.
In fact for your particular upgrade there were quite substantial changes
not just in the Namenode formats, but also the layouts on the datanodes
(which you may have to work on once you recover your namenode) .
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6482 . I'm guessing operations
will take a long time and may not work. Why do you need to rollback? We are
on 2.7.2 and its working fine for us.
