[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8041) HA: log a warning when a failover is first attempted

["Suresh Srinivas (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8041?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13204250#comment-13204250 ] 

Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-8041:
-----------------------------------------

I am not sure I understand this. For a long running client, once failover has occurred, the client knows which NN to talk to. In this case I am not sure why warning is logged in the first place! For a short lived client, say CLI, not sure how you can avoid this.

> Currently we always warn for each client operation made to a NN we've failed over to:
> {noformat}
> hadoop-0.24.0-SNAPSHOT $ ./bin/hdfs dfs -lsr /
> 12/02/08 17:43:04 WARN retry.RetryInvocationHandler: Exception while invoking getFileInfo of class org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocolPB.ClientNamenodeProtocolTranslatorPB after 0 fail over attempts. Trying to fail over immediately.
> {noformat}
> I'm going to remove this warning in HDFS-2918 since we shouldn't warn every time a client performs an operation, eg could be weeks after the failover. But we should eg log a warning eg the client first does a failover.
