Github user PivotalSarge commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-geode/pull/245 From inspection of the places where ClientMetadata::getServerLocation() gets called, I do not believe that it ought to return only secondaries when tryPrimary == false. Additionally, setting serverLocation to NULL when the list of locations is empty may break assumptions by the caller. I think there should be more information about why it is needed since ClientMetadata.hpp is not a public API and more analysis into how this change it would not break the existing calls in ClientMetaService.
