[jira] [Created] (HDFS-5889) When rolling upgrade is in progress, standby NN should create checkpoint for downgrade.

Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE created HDFS-5889:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: When rolling upgrade is in progress, standby NN should create checkpoint for downgrade.
                 Key: HDFS-5889
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5889
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: namenode
            Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE
            Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE


After rolling upgrade is started and checkpoint is disabled, the edit log may grow to a huge size.  It is not a problem if rolling upgrade is finalized normally since NN keeps the current state in memory and it writes a new checkpoint during finalize.  However, it is a problem if admin decides to downgrade.  It could take a long time to apply edit log.  Rollback does not have such problem.
