    Description

      I'm using HDP-2.6.3.22-1 with HBase HA configured. I noticed that active and standby masters have different `fs.defaultFS` on their /conf pages.
      Given `fs.defaultFS` is set to <scheme>:<authority> and `hbase.rootdir` is set to <scheme>:<authority>/<root-dir> in core-site.xml on all the hosts, it looks like standby masters has `fs.defaultFS` programatically set to the same value as `hbase.rootdir`. 

      For example, on a 3 heads cluster DEV-CLUSTER, my active master has the following line on the /conf page

      <property><name>fs.defaultFS</name><value>hdfs://DEV-CLUSTER</value><source>programatically</source></property>
      

      but standby masters has 

      <property><name>fs.defaultFS</name><value>hdfs://DEV-CLUSTER/hbase-root</value><source>programatically</source></property>

      Please correct me if this is not a bug but a feature, however I find this behavior surprising plus I cannot locate any related document.

      From a quick look at the code, the cause seems to be that standby masters got the property set in HRegionServer.java, and active master got it set in a different way in MasterFileSystem.java.
