Ted Yu commented on HBASE-9841:
-------------------------------
This initiative came up during development of Hoya where in case of master
failure, YARN can choose arbitrary host to start a new master.
This means after Hoya runs for considerable amount of time, it is not easy to
locate the active master.
Another option Jonathan H brought up during the meetup yesterday is to let
standby master provide URL to the active master.
> Provide tracking URL for cluster which is immune to master failover

> Currently each master provides web UI whose URL would not survive master
> failure.
> For downstream project, it is desirable to have a tracking URL for the
> cluster which is always functional regardless which machine runs the active
> master.
> One solution is to run light weight web server on designated server which
> serves the URL on well known port.
