Solution

It means that the Namenode to which Oozie is trying to connect is on Standby Mode

Open job.properties

See the Namenode value double verify that this Namenode is active one

Also check oozie.log to verify that oozie is reading correct Namenode value

In HA mode the

namenode URL should point to nameservice

e,g

namenodeURL=hdfs://nameserviceName

Inside your job properties
