Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HBASE-7715:
--------------------------------------------

In DistributedFileSystem there is another API that can be used as Util API. That is defaulting that flag as true.
{code}
 public boolean isInSafeMode() throws IOException {
    return setSafeMode(SafeModeAction.SAFEMODE_GET, true);
  }
{code}

Yes, we found this issue some time back. Here is the JIRA HDFS-3507.
This was committed in 2.0.3.

> We encountered an issue where HMaster failed to start with an active NN not in safe mode and a standby NN in safemode. The relevant lines in {{FSUtils.java}} show the issue:
> {noformat}
>     while (dfs.setSafeMode(org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.FSConstants.SafeModeAction.SAFEMODE_GET)) {
> {noformat}
> This call skips the normal client failover from the standby to active NN, so it will loop polling the standby NN if it unfortunately talks to the standby first.
