Comments - Readwritesplit

Right now master failover isn't supported in readwritesplit but it is possible to implement it with some code changes.

The main idea why readwritesplit closes the session when the master changes is to prevent "silent" master failover or replication topology changes. Sometimes this isn't what is wanted and being able to change masters transparently to the application is very valuable. Adding support for transparent master failover would be quite nice as it would integrate MaxScale better with software such as replication-manager.
