Goal

Even on high availability systems, such as HA enabled MDS instances, custom InnoDB Cluster deployments, MySQL NDB Cluster setups, and so forth, your application may face short service interruptions during failover/switchover etc. High availability is a mechanism to keep a system available even in the event of node failures by duplicating nodes. When a node failure happens, there can be some intermittent failures on ongoing requests, which clients have to handle them. Even upon planned maintenance, intermittent disconnections can happen. This document describes how to handle such events on your applications.
