AFR is only for high availability of namespace. Namespace does not hold any
crucial data, it is just like a cache. Infact you can wipe our your
namespace anytime and it will rebuild again. If you are having a 'head node'
for your compute cluster which is/should be always on, you could just use an
export from that node as your namespace without AFR.
