Sahil Takiar 22ac00fd4d IMPALA-9910: [DOCS] Add fault tolerance docs
Adds a few basic docs for fault tolerance in Impala. Covers the
following topics:
* Transparent query retries
* Node blacklisting
* Statestore heartbeats

This commit only adds a high level explanation of the afortmentioned
fault tolerance concepts. The docs should be expanded on in a future
commit.

<conbody>
<p>
This section describes the fault tolerance mechanisms built into
Impala. Fault tolerance allows Impala to continue to operate in the
face of hardware or process faults.
</p>
<p>
Impala uses the statestored process to provide cluster membership for
an Impala cluster. This is one of the core ways Impala provides fault
tolerance. The statestore periodically sends heartbeats (RPCs) to each
impalad process. If an impalad stops responding to heartbeats, the
statestored will consider the impalad as failed, and it will remove it
from the cluster membership state. The updates to the cluster
membership will be broadcasted to all impalads.
