 *  Fix: When a connect times out, attempt an alternate route. Previously route

## Dependencies

### Added
- cloud.google.com/go/dataproc/v2: v2.0.1

    `tf.contrib.data.SqlDataset`.
*   Distributed Mutex / CriticalSection added to
    `tf.contrib.framework.CriticalSection`.
*   Better text processing with `tf.regex_replace`.
*   Easy, efficient sequence input with
    `tf.contrib.data.bucket_by_sequence_length`
*   Initial support for `tf.contrib.tensorrt` that enables native TensorRT in
    TensorFlow.

## Bug Fixes and Other Changes

* A new client `k8s.io/client-go/metadata.Client` has been added for accessing objects generically. This client makes it easier to retrieve only the metadata (the `metadata` sub-section) from resources on the cluster in an efficient manner for use cases that deal with objects generically, like the garbage collector, quota, or the namespace controller. The client asks the server to return a `meta.k8s.io/v1 PartialObjectMetadata` object for list, get, delete, watch, and patch...
