----------------------------

             Summary: Unable to catch up edits during standby to active switch due to NPE
                 Key: HDFS-3443
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3443
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: auto-failover
            Reporter: suja s


Start NN
Let NN standby services be started.
Before the editLogTailer is initialised start ZKFC and allow the activeservices start to proceed further.


Here editLogTailer.catchupDuringFailover() will throw NPE.

void startActiveServices() throws IOException {
    LOG.info("Starting services required for active state");
    writeLock();
    try {
      FSEditLog editLog = dir.fsImage.getEditLog();
      
      if (!editLog.isOpenForWrite()) {
        // During startup, we're already open for write during initialization.
        editLog.initJournalsForWrite();
        // May need to recover
        editLog.recoverUnclosedStreams();
        
        LOG.info("Catching up to latest edits from old active before " +
            "taking over writer role in edits logs.");
        editLogTailer.catchupDuringFailover();
