> In _ZKFailoverController.java_, the _Exception_ caught by the _run()_ method does not have a single error log. This causes latent problems that are only manifested during failover.
> h5. The problem we encountered
> An _Exception_ is thrown from the _doRun()_ method during _initHM()_ (caused by a configuration error). If you want to repeat, you can set 
> "_ha.health-monitor.connect-retry-interval.ms_" to be any nonsensical value.

> Unfortunately, the Exception (causing the shutdown of the process) is *not logged at all*. This causes latent errors which is only manifested during failover (because ZKFC is dead). The tricky thing here is that everything looks perfectly fine: the _jps_ command shows a running DFSZKFailoverController process and the two NameNode (active and standby) work fine. 
> h5. Patch
> We strongly suggest to add a error log to notify the error caught, such as,
