Advantages of Ranger Admin HA

[#1]

Hi,

My question is what are advantages of using High Availability in Ranger Admin? The only advantage is that I can log in to Ranger Admin GUI from 2 hosts, are there any others?

If you don't have Ranger Admin HA, then you can't change, add, or remove policies if the GUI is down. So really it is to ensure you admins can manage policies without down time. I guess you would make a decision on whether you need this based on how often you manage your policies.

I hope this helps.
