how can I make the Nimbus highly available ?

HI,all:
	how can I make the Nimbus highly available ?  I am just confused about this. In the website, I just read below;
"This means you can kill -9 Nimbus or the Supervisors and they’ll start back up like nothing happened. This design leads to Storm clusters being incredibly stable."

But if my master node crashes with an unexpected hardware failure , I can't recover it in a short time. So how can I make the Nimbus as a high available service ?

HA for Nimbus is planned, and there has already been some work in that area:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-166

Nimbus is not a true SPOF in that if it goes down, you’re topologies will continue to function and process data. With Nimbus down what you lose is the ability to submit/manage topologies and reassign tasks.

Without STORM-166, you would have to manually intervene if your nimbus host exploded. If it is a big concern you may want a standby machine and something in your ops pocket to quickly change DNS for your nimbus host.
