Fallback Policy for Replicas

[amanhigh]

Describe the feature

Currently only available policy is random. We need a fallback policy where incase first replica fails we need to fallback to second replica.

Eg. Source: M1 (master 1) Replicas: R1 (Replica 1), R2 (Replica 2)

• Normal Scenario - Writes Served by M1, Reads Served by R1
• Disaster Master Down - Writes don't work, Reads Served by R1
• R1 Promoted to Master (R1 becomes M1) - Writes Served by M1, Reads Fail. In this Scenario we want Reads to Shift to R2.

First two scenarios are currently handled we need fallback policy for third scenario.

We have replicas which would be in process of updation to master in case of a disaster. Thus first replica may become unavailable while second replica continues to function. In such scenario a Fallback policy would be required.
