Description of problem: Currently on a successful connection between protocol server and client, the protocol client initiates a CHILD_UP event in the client stack. At this point in time, only the connection between server and client is established, and there is no guarantee that the server side stack is ready to serve requests. It works fine now, as most server side translators are not dependent on any other factors, before being able to serve requests today and hence they are up by the time the client stack translators receive the CHILD_UP (initiated by client handshake). The gap here is exposed when certain server side translators like NSR-Server for example, have a couple of protocol clients as their child(connecting them to other bricks), and they can't really serve requests till a quorum of their children are up. Hence these translators should defer sending CHILD_UP till they have enough children up, and the same needs to be propagated to the client stack translators.

At this point in time, only the connection between server and client is established, and there is no guarantee that the server side stack is ready to serve requests. It works fine now, as most server side translators are not dependent on any other factors, before being able to serve requests today and hence they are up by the time the client stack translators receive the CHILD_UP (initiated by client handshake). The gap here is exposed when certain server side translators like NSR-Server for example, have a couple of protocol clients as their child(connecting them to other bricks), and they can't really serve requests till a quorum of their children are up. Hence these translators should defer sending CHILD_UP till they have enough children up, and the same needs to be propagated to the client stack translators. Fix: Maintain a child_up variable in both the protocol client and protocol server translators. The protocol server should update this value based on the CHILD_UP and CHILD_DOWN events it receives from the translators below it. On receiving such an event it should forward that event to the client. The protocol client on receiving such an event should forward it up the client stack, thereby letting the client translators correctly know that the server is up and ready to serve. The clients connecting later(long after a server has initialized and processed it's CHILD_UP events), will receive a child_up status as part of the handshake, and based on the status of the server's child_up, can either propagate a CHILD_UP event or defer it.

This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.8.0, please open a new bug report. glusterfs-3.8.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
