> In router based federation (RBF), clients will need to know about routers to
> talk to the HDFS cluster (obviously), and having routers updating
> (adding/removing) will have to make config change in every client, which is a
> painful process.
> DNS can be used here to resolve the single domain name clients knows to a
> list of routers in the current config. However, DNS won't be able to consider
> only resolving to the working router based on certain health thresholds.
> There are some ways about how this can be solved. One way is to have a
> separate script to regularly check the status of the router and update the
> DNS records if a router fails the health thresholds. In this way, security
> might be carefully considered for this way. Another way is to have the client
> do the normal connecting/failover after they get the list of routers, which
> requires the change of current failover proxy provider.
> See the attached design document for details about the proposed solution.
