Review comment:
       WARN implies to me as an operator that something bad happened that is 
noteworthy but not an emergency. ERROR implies a serious problem that probably 
should cause someone to be paged.
   
   sync is going to occasionally time out. We should be handling such without 
correctness problems. ERROR logging doesn't substitute for handling the timeout 
properly. So, assuming we are handling timeouts correctly, WARN level logging 
is most appropriate.
