             Summary: Rename StandbyException to FailoverException
                 Key: HDFS-5327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5327
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Jing Zhao
            Assignee: Jing Zhao
            Priority: Minor


After HDFS-5291, client's RPC level can determine whether to retry the same 
server or failover to another server based on the two types of exception:

# The new introduced RetriableException indicating that the server is 
temporarily unavailable and clients can retry. 
# The old StandbyException indicating that clients can failover and try another 
server.

In this context, since the term "standby" only tells one scenario (active + 
standby), we may want to rename the StandbyException to FailoverException to 
make it more generic.
