Description
Goal is to permit setting some failover capability on connector level.
Configuration must permit setting multiple hosts/ports. Then, when trying to establish a connection, connector will trying to connect those hosts sequentially until success or throwing error if last host connection fails.
This would permit failover on multiple maxscale instances, avoiding use additional tools that monitor maxscales state.
UPDATE: This task would cover the failover, CONPY-146 the loadbalancing
