      The error causes errors on the client site at a low fail rate: almost 100% of samples are OK and is triggered by fail over (introduced by means of server shut down);
      Nevertheless, this issue occurs in clean shut down scenario (should be as smooth as possible) and floods the logs with errors producing some client side errors.
      It happens in a scenario with a 4 nodes cluster where the cluster traffic is encrypted:

      <protocol type="ASYM_ENCRYPT" xmlns="">
      <property name="encrypt_entire_message">true</property>
      <property name="sym_keylength">128</property>
      <property name="sym_algorithm">AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding</property>
      <property name="asym_keylength">512</property>
      <property name="asym_algorithm">RSA</property>
      </protocol>
      

      The error starts immediately after the one node of the cluster is shut down and re-started affecting the other 3 nodes in the cluster; here is the complete sequence of events:
