I was wondering around Hadoop wiki and found this page dedicated to name-node failover.
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/NameNodeFailoverI think it is confusing, contradicts other documentation on the subject and contains incorrect facts. See
http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/hdfs_user_guide.html#Secondary+Namenodehttp://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FAQ#7Besides it contains some kind of discussion.
It is not that I am against discussions, lets have them on this list.
But I was trying to understand were all the confusion about secondary-node issues comes from lately...
Imho we either need to correct it or remove.
Thanks,
