Description

Similar problem has been fixed with HDFS-7185. Recent change in HDFS-8432 brings this back.

With HDFS-8432, the primary NN will not update the VERSION file to the new version after running with "rollingUpgrade" option until upgrade is finalized. This is to support more downgrade use cases.

However, the checkpoint on the SNN is incorrectly updating the VERSION file when the rollingUpgrade is not finalized yet on the primary NN. As a result, the SNN checkpoint successfully but fail to push it to the primary NN because its version is higher than the primary NN as shown below.
