I saw this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1300987
As far as I can tell, they are reporting normal, expected, and desired behavior of Accumulo as a bug. But, is there something we can do upstream to enable fast failures in the case of Accumulo not running to support their use case? Personally, I don't see how we can reliably detect within the client that the cluster is down or up, vs. a normal temporary server outage/migration, since there is there is no single point of authority for Accumulo to determine its overall operating status if ZooKeeper is running and no other servers are. Am I wrong?
