> In an HA cluster, when there are two NNs, the invariant that only one NN is
> active at a time has to be preserved in order to prevent "split brain
> syndrome." Thus, when a standby NN is transition to "active" state during a
> failover, it needs to somehow _fence_ the formerly active NN to ensure that
> it can no longer perform edits. This JIRA is to discuss and implement NN
> fencing.
