--- Comment #4 from Amar Tumballi <atumball at redhat.com> ---
Planning to not resolve below:

>> 2. "unsigned char" is also not defined. Its uses in the form "unsigned char uuid[16]" are almost certainly not what was intended; this will serialize as an array of 16 bytes padded to 32 bits, generating 16x4=64 bytes on the wire. The correct form is "opaque uuid[16]", but changing this will break the wire format. A compatible fix is to define a "byte" or "uchar" type and use that: "byte uuid[16]" (in Rust, this would map to "u8")

As it will cause the glusterd cluster break, which anyways is targeted to be
taken out of support by 4.1.x releases.
