Description of problem:
Glusterfind pre command fails 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Distro : RHEL7.7 
Kernel version : 3.10.0-1061.el7.x86_64
Python 3.6.8
Gluster version : upstream at commit 8d55951 as shown below

    # git branch -v
    * master 8d55951 leases: re-alignment of structures

    # gluster --version | head -1 
    glusterfs 8dev


How reproducible:
Easily 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create and mount a volume replicated volume. 
 
2. create a session as follows :

        # glusterfind create s1 repvol

3. Update some files on the gluster client 

4. fire the glusterfind pre command :

       # glusterfind pre s1 repvol output.txt

===========================
Exact steps that I did : 
===========================
1. Create a replicated volume.

2. Mount the volume on the client as follows : 

    # mount -t glusterfs 192.168.1.18:/repvol /mnt/t1


3. Create a few files on the mounted volume : 

    # cd /mnt/t1
    # echo "hi" > file1
    # echo "hi" > file2    

4. Create a session on the gluster server :

    # glusterfind create s1 repvol
    192.168.1.22 - pre failed; stdout (including remote stderr):
    b'192.168.1.22: /testxfs/brick-a1/brick Historical Changelogs not available: [Errno 2] gf_history_changelog: No such file or directory\n'
    stderr:
    b''
    192.168.1.18 - pre failed; stdout (including remote stderr):
    b'Connection to 192.168.1.18 closed.\r\n'
    stderr:
    b'192.168.1.18: /testxfs/brick-a1/brick Historical Changelogs not available: [Errno 2] gf_history_changelog: No such file or directory\r\n'
    Generated output file /testxfs/output.txt



5. Create one more file on the client : 

    # echo "hi" > file3 

6. Fire glusterfind pre command :

    # glusterfind pre s1 repvol output.txt
    Post command is not run after last pre, use --regenerate-outfile

7. Fire glusterfind post command :  

    # glusterfind post s1 repvol 
    Session s1 with volume repvol updated

8. Fire the glusterfind pre command : 

    # glusterfind pre s1 repvol output.txt
    Generated output file /testxfs/output.txt

9. You can see the newly created file :  

    # cat /testxfs/output.txt
    NEW file3

10. Now append the same file on the client : 

    # echo "hi" >> file3 

11. On the server fire the glusterfind post command :  

    # glusterfind post s1 repvol 
    Session s1 with volume repvol updated

12. Now when pre command is fired we get the below error : 

    # glusterfind pre s1 repvol output.txt
    192.168.1.22 - pre failed; stdout (including remote stderr):

Two things here:

1. glusterfind uses pyxattr and not xattr module. I think, it's taken care in rpm install but on source install, it's taken fore python2. So install as below if not installed.
         #pip3 install pyxattr (for python3)
         #pip install pyxattr (for python2)
   
   And remove xattr module if installed. I think both share the same namespace and might conflict.
         #pip3 uninstall xattr  (for python3)
         #pip uninstall xattr (for python2)

2. There were issues w.r.t python2/python2 compatibility related dictionary and bytes/string handling. The patch https://review.gluster.org/23993 fixes the same.
