-------------------------------------------

HA solution uses VIP address
1.System needs to be configured with three sets of addresses, NNVIPAddress,
NNAddress1 and NNAddress2.
...
....
3.To discover NNStandbyAddress clients and datanode may try NNAddress1 and
NNAddress2 or use mechanism such as Zookeeper.
{quote}
In VIP solution, putting dependancy on actual IPs may not be a good choice.
To discover NNStandbyAddress clients and datanodes need to retry for actual
stanbynode address.
What if we put another VIPAddress for NNStandbyAddress also?
for example:
Clients and datanodes use standbyNNVIPAddress as NNStandbyAddress.
So, clients need not bother about retries to find the actual address.
Please correct me if i understud wrongly.
