Sailesh Patel created HDFS-14448: ------------------------------------ Summary: Provide an appropriate Message when Secondary Namenode is not bootstrap initialized Key: HDFS-14448 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14448 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: hdfs Affects Versions: 2.6.0 Reporter: Sailesh Patel
After HDFS is running for some time and then it is enabled for HDFS-HA, if the secondary bootstrap fails ( say because active NN was down), and then it is attempted to be started, the message in secondary NN says "NameNode is not formatted." e.g. 2019-04-16 19:43:27,951 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode: Failed to start namenode. java.io.IOException: NameNode is not formatted. at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSImage.recoverTransitionRead(FSImage.java:232) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.loadFSImage(FSNamesystem.java:1144) Can this message be improved to say: "Secondary NameNode is not initialized. Please Bootstrap Secondary Namenode" or "NameNode is not formatted/Secondary Namenode not Bootstrapped(Initialized)" This is to avoid customers mistakenly formatting namenode and there by losing data. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
