------------------------------
My fault. I was reading HBASE-5209-v1.diff. Pardon me. Thanks for testing.
Old client against new cluster is what needs to work (new client against old
server is YMMD).
Patch looks good to me. Mind attaching it here so we can run it through
hadoopqa to make sure it doesn't have side effects? Then I'll commit. Thanks
David.

> I have a multi-master HBase set up, and I'm trying to programmatically
> determine which of the masters is currently active. But the API does not
> allow me to do this. There is a getMaster() method in the HConnection class,
> but it returns an HMasterInterface, whose methods do not allow me to find out
> which master won the last race. The API should have a
> getActiveMasterHostname() or something to that effect.
