It's not possible yet to replicate a node that is importing data.
One must wait that the migration is finished.

This reverts commit d3c22487 partially
and fixes the bug in a much simpler way.

It was out-of-date since commit 23b6a66a.

This time we had issues with _getObject and getReplicationObjectList
on production.
It seems related to the upgrade of MariaDB, from 10.0.21 to 10.1.25.

             and 13911ca3

The explanation became wrong during a git-rebase, when it was decided
to keep the old code that drop partitions. The new one needs more work
and it is kept in a branch.

Using NEO 0.9.1 and partitioning enabled, I could reproduce the issue with
MariaDB 5.3.5, but not with MariaDB 5.3.12 and 5.5.23. I suppose it was fixed.

In testOudatedCellsOnDownStorage,
  'select count(*) from obj' returned a wrong value (always 1).

Strangely, 'select count(*) from test_neo0.obj' was always correct (102).

When 'neo.tests.cluster' is loaded (usually when functional tests are run),
__builtin__.pdb is replaced by an extended pdb, which should behave the same
way if it is used like the former.

winpdb is so slow that a console pdb is often preferred.

The most important change is that it does not discard readable cells too
quickly anymore. A partition can now have multiple FEEDING cells, to avoid
going below the wanted level of replication.

The new algorithm is also better at minimizing the amount replication.

The MySQL implementation is written to work around the issue reported at
  https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12867

Since it's not worth anymore to keep track of the last connection activity
(which, btw, ignored TCP ACKs, i.e. timeouts could theorically be triggered
before all the data were actually sent), the semantics of closeClient has also
changed. Before this commit, the 1-minute timeout was reset whenever there was
activity (connection still used as server). Now, it happens exactly 100 seconds
after the connection is not used anymore as client.

The next line (MTClientConnection) already logs new connections
and the storage node is necessarily in RUNNING state.

Now, the primary master is the running master with None displayed in the
last column. Before, it could be the id timestamp of when it was secondary,
which was obsolete information.

This fixes up commit 23b6a66a,
which reimplements election.
