Sorry for the delay.  I would like to propose below feature for 3.13 
release -

gfapi: APIs needed to register cbk functions for upcalls

Summary: Instead of polling continuously for upcalls, we need APIs for 
the applications to be able to register upcall events and the 
corresponding callback functions to be invoked.

github issue: #315 [1]

Patch (under review): https://review.gluster.org/#/c/18349/

Please let me know if this can be targeted for 3.13 release.

Thanks,
Soumya
