Github user sudheeshkatkam commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/520 [DRILL-4369](https://github.com/apache/drill/commit/13f21e14b4f0832abba8e5632d8fa4e7a6a27635) allows for exchanging version and name information, but these properties do not change after the connection is made. But identifier quote string option could change, so the only way to know the latest value is to send a RPC request for the current list of server properties, no need to serialize the entire session manager object (if that is [UserSession](https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/rpc/user/UserSession.java)).
