Standby NameNode process failing on start-up due to Snapshot issue

[#1]

SYMPTOM: The Standby NameNode process running on our 2nd of four management node servers isn't running. Interrogating the log files, I've found an exception relating to an Oozie job

ERROR: Below was the error logs -

ROOT CAUSE: Suspected that the edits logs were corrupted and it was causing the issue for Standby namenode to startup. Replicating the metadata from primary namenode to standby didn't worked.
