             Summary: Get ambiguous result for DFSAdmin command in HA mode when 
only one namenode is up
                 Key: HDFS-12935
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12935
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta1
            Reporter: Jianfei Jiang
             Fix For: 3.0.0-beta1


In HA mode, if one namenode is down, most of functions can still work. When 
considering the following two occasions: (1)nn1 up and nn2 down, (2)nn1 down 
and nn2 up. These two occasions should be equivalent. However, some of the 
DFSAdmin commands will have ambiguous results. The commands can be send 
successfully to the up namenode and are always functionally useful only when 
nn1 is up regardless of exception (IOException when connecting to the down 
namenode). See the following command "hdfs dfsadmin setBalancerBandwidth" which 
aim to set balancer bandwidth value for datanodes as an example. It works and 
all the datanodes can get the setting values only when nn1 is up. If only nn2 
is up, the command throws exception directly and no datanode get the bandwidth 
setting. Approximately ten DFSAdmin commands use the similar logical process 
and may be ambiguous.
