> *What's the problem ?*
> Before send [normal
> request|https://github.com/apache/incubator-ratis/blob/master/ratis-client/src/main/java/org/apache/ratis/client/impl/OrderedAsync.java#L243],
> ratis client will send an [empty
> request|https://github.com/apache/incubator-ratis/blob/master/ratis-client/src/main/java/org/apache/ratis/client/impl/OrderedAsync.java#L235]
> to server to check the leader state, which cost about 5 millseconds, it's a
> waste, because leader change rarely.
> *How to improve ?*
> I think it can be improved by send normal request directly to server, without
> sending the empty request. If the server was not leader, response client with
> the NotLeaderException and client retry the request. [~msingh] [~shashikant]
> What do you think ? If you agree with it, I will submit an PR.
> Besides one RPC call cost 5 millsecons is also weired, I will find out the
> root cause.
