Description

Essentially, given a list of endpoints (endpoint1, endpoint2), the failoverpolicy should initially send all messages to endpoint1. In a failover scenario, the route should send messages to endpoint2 instead of endpoint1, and continue to do so until endpoint2 fails. If endpoint2 were then to fail, messages start being sent to endpoint1 again.

The current support for sticky load balancing and failover load balancing do not address the need for sticky failover.

Sticky Load Balancing requires the user to set a header and is not meant for failover scenarios, whereas failover load balancing is not sticky.
