Can you add a ha namenode without cluster downtime?

Currently we have no HA on the name node in a HDP 2.2 cluster in production.

We are trying to determine if we can add a new node and enable it has a standby namenode.

Our objective is to enable namenode HA on the hortonworks cluster without taking the cluster offline.

No as we have to run checkpoint on the NN and save the namespace. You have to have downtime to enable HA

We have a process which pulls messages from MQ and puts it in HBase. Since the messages have a 10 sec expiry we cannot afford to have the cluster down. What do people do in such situations?
