We want to support multiple-site stretch clusters in RADOS. In particular, targeting configurations of 2 main sites and a tiebreaker monitor. This means: * improving the monitors so they can handle netsplits and still make forward progress (without going into infinite election loops) * being able to identify when one site has disappeared, and keeping the data available out of the surviving site. We will do this by implementing a monitor heartbeating and a new election algorithm that recognizes netsplits and handles them, and by implementing a "stretch mode" that recognizes multi-site mode when doing OSD peering and requires set members from both sites (until the monitors declare a site dead, and we go into single-site mode).

Stretch cluster testing is carried out in detail by QE.
Ranjini, Greg, Currently we are providing stretch cluster feature fro OCS and not opening it for standalone RHCS customers. So I think this BZ should not be added to Errata?
