OK, that fix to the testsuite broke the test in a different way; e.g. if node0 = localhost. In that case preferredMaster=localhost:1099 but the ClusterNode.getName() returns 127.0.0.1:1099. Not a match. I'm playing a bit with HASingletonElectionPolicyBase.elect() to try and parse out the InetAddress and port to allow matching on that if the name match fails.
