> When running the failover command, you can get an error message like the
> following:
> {quote}
> $ hdfs --config $(pwd) haadmin -failover namenode2 namenode1
> Failover failed: xxx.yyy/1.2.3.4:8020 is not ready to become active
> {quote}
> Unfortunately, the error message doesn't describe why that node isn't ready
> to be active. In my case, the target namenode's logs don't indicate anything
> either. It turned out that the issue was "Safe mode is ON.Resources are low
> on NN. Safe mode must be turned off manually.", but ideally the user would be
> told that at the time of the failover.
