Hi,

This is to support an admin command or utility which can trigger the
server to be taken to a standalone mode if there a connection failure
detection between Primary and server. It need not be always, that the
replication_timeout needs to be accomplished to detect the connection
failure because it could happen that cluster/hearbeat framework might
detect the connection failure earlier to the replication_timeout. So the
admin command, which will abstract the implementation details will
assist in taking the server to standalone mode earlier to
replication_timeout.

Are there any suggestions from your side with respect to this?

regards,
Niranjan
