Thanks for the suggestion. We will look into this. Note that there is already code which ensures via a marker file that even when the HDFS phase runs on multiple hosts, only one will modify the HDFS contents.

But this command ps -efww | grep org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode | grep -v grep in hdp_log4j_jndi_removal.sh returns true for both the active and standby NNs, so patch_hdfs_tgz.sh script run twice which will be duplicate effort and time consuming.

Ah, this was on HDP? I see that the marker file logic doesn't exist there.

@jtran-cloudera Any update on fixing this?
