------------------------------------
bq. Because of this, I think a more important feature is to have the backup
masters setup a web server with an HTTP redirect to the active master's UI.

> HA/Distributed HMaster via RegionServers
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-5353
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5353
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: master, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.94.0
> Reporter: Jesse Yates
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the HMaster node(s) must be considered a 'special' node (though
> not a single point of failover), meaning that the node must be protected more
> than the other cluster machines or at least specially monitored. Minimally,
> we always need to ensure that the master is running, rather than letting the
> system handle that internally. It should be possible to instead have the
> HMaster be much more available, either in a distributed sense (meaning a bit
> rewrite) or multiple, dynamically created instances combined with the hot
> fail-over of masters.
