[jira] [Created] (AMBARI-15482) Restarting HDFS Before Upgrade Finalizing Does Not Supply the rollingUpgrade Flag

             Summary: Restarting HDFS Before Upgrade Finalizing Does Not Supply the rollingUpgrade Flag 
                 Key: AMBARI-15482
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-15482
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Hurley
            Assignee: Jonathan Hurley
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.2.2


During an upgrade, the HDFS NameNode(s) are restarted with the {{-rollingUpgrade}} flag. However, it's possible to get to the end of an upgrade and decide to "Finalize Later".

This allows the cluster to run in the upgraded state before committing to the upgrade. Full cluster control is returned via the Ambari web client.

Administrators can then decide to restart a NameNode. Upon restarting the NameNode, it will produce an error that it was not started with the {{rollingUpgrade}} flag. 

It seems that as long as an upgrade has not been finalized, the NameNode(s) must be started with the {{rollingUpgrade}} to allow them to function properly. 

STR:
- Perform a rolling upgrade from HDP 2.2 to 2.3 (or 2.3 to 2.4); as long as there is a major version change.
- Before finalization, say "Finalize Later". All services should be up and green.
- Now restart a NameNode
