---------------------------------
Thanks [~clouderajiayi] and [~mackrorysd] for this great work! we are
experiencing lots of NN issues at Uber and this could be a big help.
[~mingma] and [~zhz]: you have raised the question of potential race conditions
with {{cpLock}}. However, I'm not sure if this is possible: to my understanding
the {{cpLock}} is used to protect edit log from checkpointing and the tailer,
which the read operations would not need to touch (seems like). Please correct
me if I'm wrong. :)

> Currently, clients must always talk to the active NameNode when performing
> any metadata operation, which means active NameNode could be a bottleneck for
> scalability. One way to solve this problem is to send read-only operations to
> Standby NameNode. The disadvantage is that it might be a stale read.
> Here, I'm thinking of adding a Client API to enable/disable stale read from
> Standby which gives Client the power to set the staleness restriction.
