[jira] [Created] (HDFS-3438) BootstrapStandby should not require a rollEdits on active node

---------------------------------

             Summary: BootstrapStandby should not require a rollEdits on active node
                 Key: HDFS-3438
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3438
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ha
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon


Currently, BootstrapStandby uses a rollEdits() call on the active NN in order to determine the most recent checkpoint and transaction ID. However, this means that you cannot bootstrap a standby when the active NN is in safe mode -- i.e you have to start the whole cluster before you can bootstrap a new standby. This makes the workflow to convert an existing cluster to HA more complicated. We should allow BootstrapStandby to work even when the NN is in safe mode.
