broadcast notice of dead servers is broke

          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: MTTR
            Reporter: stack


An old feature that you could optionally enable so Master would broadcast via 
UDP/Multicast messages to registered clients when it learned of dead servers is 
broken in hbase2. It was added here:

    HBASE-7590 Add a costless notifications mechanism from master to 
regionservers & clients - new files

It could help the recalibration of clients on server death run quicker. I have 
not stats on how often it was use if at all.

I tried playing around with it to try and get it going again but need to spend 
more time on it. Putting aside for now. 

We should make it work again and then talk it up as a mechanism that can help 
improve MTTR (or strip it).
