Using repository-hdfs how can I create a snapshot repository pointing to HDFS cluster running in HA mode ?

Currently the configuration parameter uri only supports a single host ?

i.e Is there a way to use the following HDFS client configuration to set repository location instead of uri:

```
<property>
  <name>fs.defaultFS</name>
  <value>hdfs://mycluster</value>
</property>
```
