Description

Even though the FailoverOnNetworkExceptionRetry retry policy tries to fail over immediately, in the event the active is down, o.a.h.ipc.Client (below the RetryPolicy) will retry the initial connection 10 times before bubbling up this exception to the RetryPolicy. This should be much quicker.
