> We'd like measure the uptime for Namenodes: percentage of time when we have 
> the active/standby/observer node available (up and running). We could monitor 
> the namenode from an external service, such as ZKFC. But that would require 
> the external service to be available 100% itself. And when this third-party 
> external monitoring service is down, we won't have info on whether our 
> Namenodes are still up.
> We propose to take a different approach: we will emit Namenode state directly 
> from namenode itself. Whenever we miss a data point for this metric, we 
> consider the corresponding namenode to be down/not available. In other words, 
> we assume the metric collection/monitoring infrastructure to be 100% reliable.
> One implementation detail: in hadoop, we have the _NameNodeMetrics_ class, 
> which is currently used to emit all metrics for {_}NameNode.java{_}. However, 
> we don't think that is a good place to emit NameNode HAState. HAState is 
> stored in NameNode.java and we should directly emit it from NameNode.java. 
> Otherwise, we basically duplicate this info in two classes and we would have 
> to keep them in sync. Besides, _NameNodeMetrics_ class does not have a 
> reference to the _NameNode_ object which it belongs to. An _NameNodeMetrics_ 
> is created by a _static_ function _initMetrics()_ in {_}NameNode.java{_}.
> We shouldn't emit HA state from FSNameSystem.java either, as it is 
> initialized from NameNode.java and all state transitions are implemented in 
> NameNode.java.
