RCA:

Problem is that during a Blueprint deployment by Cloudbreak, it keeps the following 2 configs in hadoop-env

dfs_ha_initial_namenode_active dfs_ha_initial_namenode_standby

When it's time to perform an EU/RU (or start NN in general), then it thinks that NameNode HA is still not complete. Blueprint with HA out of the box needs a step to delete these configs after the deployment is done.

BUG: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-18394

WORKAROUND:

Workaround is to remove configs "dfs_ha_initial_namenode_active" and "dfs_ha_initial_namenode_standby" using configs.sh during the middle of EU and retry the step to restart NN.
