Description

Operations such as addCacheDirectives() throws SafeModeException when the NN is in safemode:

      if (isInSafeMode()) {
        throw new SafeModeException(
            "Cannot add cache directive", safeMode);
      }

While other NN operations throws RetriableException when HA is enabled:

  void checkNameNodeSafeMode(String errorMsg)
      throws RetriableException, SafeModeException {
    if (isInSafeMode()) {
      SafeModeException se = new SafeModeException(errorMsg, safeMode);
      if (haEnabled && haContext != null
          && haContext.getState().getServiceState() == HAServiceState.ACTIVE
          && shouldRetrySafeMode(this.safeMode)) {
        throw new RetriableException(se);
      } else {
        throw se;
      }
    }
  }
