> *Issue:*
> # During Namenode HA blueprint deployment, we configure the name nodes to start in active/standby mode based on the following properties
> {code}
>      {
>         "hadoop-env": {
>           "properties" : {
>             "dfs_ha_initial_namenode_active" : "jay-msft-1.c.pramod-thangali.internal",
>             "dfs_ha_initial_namenode_standby" : "jay-msft-2.c.pramod-thangali.internal”
>           }
>         }
>       }
> {code}
> # The current logic is to always bootstrap the name node marked as standby. 
> # This will lead to the Namenode marked as Standby to never start under the following situation
> - Cluster is deployed successfully
> - Both name nodes are stopped
> - Start the name node marked as standby. Namenode will never start.
> - This is because the standby name node will try to bootstrap again. 
> - However to bootstrap a name node an active name node is required. Based on the HDFS logic the first step done when bootstrapping is to connect to the Active Namenode. 
> - Also there is no need to bootstrap here as the name node should already be bootstrapped and should come back up as “Active"
