Considering the fact that glusterd2 would be a the way forward in 4.0, 
the patches that you mention are good candidates to get into 3.12, as 
this is possibly the last release where we should be working on glusterd 
related major feature changes.

The patch in question looks to be: https://review.gluster.org/#/c/17693/ 
(experimental) and https://review.gluster.org/#/c/15503/ (in master with 
a merge conflict).

@hari, can you address the patch merge issue on master, and also 
@glusterd team, can we get this reviewed in time?

Are there other patches that are in line for the same?

Shyam
