[outages] Discord: Sever outages and Increased API errors

[Andrei Hurynovich]

>> Nodes announce themselves to etcd by issuing an HTTP PUT, etcd client
uses Python's builtin HTTP client, and sends a PUT request (along with the
Content-Length header) in one packet, and the request body in another
packet. We determined that the connection was reset after sending the first
packet, but before the second packet could be sent.

Looks like service discovery poisoning, linked to python lib. Is it so?
(Even when its not DNS, it looks very much like DNS)
