One more issue seen in a scenario, where 'glusterd' is not running and 'glusterfs-events' package is not installed.

I see a traceback in the following scenario :

# gluster pe s
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/libexec/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/gsyncd.py", line 29, in <module>
    from syncdutils import FreeObject, norm, grabpidfile, finalize
  File "/usr/libexec/glusterfs/python/syncdaemon/syncdutils.py", line 28, in <module>
    from events import eventtypes
ImportError: No module named events
peer status: failed
Connection failed. Please check if gluster daemon is operational.

As a workaround to this, one need to install glusterfs-events package along with python-gluster package.

RCA:

Geo-rep/Snap scheduler imports eventtypes.py but that file is packaged under glusterfs-events rpm. During glusterd/gluster cli invocation, call to `/usr/libexec/glusterfs/gsyncd --version` is failing with Python traceback.

To fix the issue, conditionally enable flag in Geo-rep code if events is not installed by guarding the import.

EVENTS_ENABLED = True
try:
    from events import eventtypes
except ImportError:
    EVENTS_ENABLED = False

And check this flag while calling gf_event.

I have raised this bug with the understanding that glusterfs-events package is required for glusterfs-server package. That is the reason in comment0, I expected that glusterfs-server package to glusterfs-events.

Later understood the fact that the glusterfs-events will be installed only if there is a requirement.

So the expected result is that glusterd should start without installing glusterfs-events package
