------------------------------------
[^HDFS-14134.007.patch] LGTM.
However, I have limited experience with this part of the client.
It would be nice for others to give it a look.
[~lukmajercak], from the previous commits, who do you think would be a good
candidate for review?

> 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 the 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.
