Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-7896:
----------------------------------------
sleeps with a bit of random jitter, I hope, possibly even exponential backoff
> HA: if both NNs are in Standby mode, client needs to try failing back and
> forth several times with sleeps

> Key: HADOOP-7896
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7896
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: ipc
> Affects Versions: HA Branch (HDFS-1623)
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Aaron T. Myers
> Priority: Critical
>
> For a manual failover, there may be an intermediate state for a non-trivial
> amount of time where both NNs are in standby mode. Currently, the failover
> proxy will immediately failover on receiving this exception from the first
> NN, and when it hits the same exception on the second NN, it immediately
> fails. It should probably fail back and forth nearly indefinitely if both NNs
> are in Standby mode.
