The OSD client is responsible for reading and writing data from/to the
object storage pool. This includes determining where objects are
stored in the cluster, and ensuring that requests are retried or
redirected in the event of a node failure or data migration.
If an OSD does not respond before a timeout expires, keepalive
messages are sent across the lossless, ordered communications channel
to ensure that any break in the TCP is discovered. If the session
does reset, a reconnection is attempted and affected requests are
resent (by the message transport layer).
