This issue is intermittent because it depends on the behavior of the Journalnodes, so this will require more work to the scripts.

Today, our orchestration restarts one Journalnode at a time. However, the current log segment is null because it has not yet rolled to a new one, which can be forced by the command "hdfs dfsadmin -rollEdit" and waiting til some conditions are true.

The runbook has  more details,
{code}
// Function to ensure all JNs are up and are functional
ensureJNsAreUp(Jn1, Jn2, Jn3) {
  rollEdits at the namenode // hdfs dfsadmin -rollEdit
  get “LastAppliedOrWrittenTxId” from NN jmx
  wait till "LastWrittenTxId" from all JNs is >= previous step transaction ID, timeout after 3 mins
}

// Before bringing down a journal node ensure that the other two journal nodes are up
ensureJNsAreUp
for each JN {
  do upgrade of one JN
  ensureJNsAreUp
}

{code}
