> Currently, some operations that throw IOException on the NameNode are
> evaluated by RetryPolicy as FAILOVER_AND_RETRY, but they should just fail
> fast.
> For example, when calling getXAttr("user.some_attr", file") where file does
> not have the attribute, NN throws an IOException with message "could not find
> attr". The current client retry policy determines the action for that to be
> FAILOVER_AND_RETRY. The client then fails over and retries until it reaches
> the maximum number of retries. Supposedly, the client should be able to tell
> that this exception is normal and fail fast.
> Moreover, even if the action was FAIL, the RetryInvocationHandler looks at
> all the retry actions from all requests, and FAILOVER_AND_RETRY takes
> precedence over FAIL action.
