[Kevin Harms]

Erik,

   I think I can answer your questions.
>     1.-  What kind of information is fetched from the server in the  
> client-side in this request?
The configuration data from the fs.conf file.

>      2.- Is it necessary get that information of each server, both  
> meta and data servers?
It's not required, but that is the default mode. See #4.
>      3.-  I understand that servers configuration is cached in the  
> client side when they are initialized, is it right?
That is correct.

>      4 .-  And  last, can a particular server configuration be  
> different to another conf. server?
The configurations should be the same. The default mode is that the  
client requests the config from all servers and validates that they  
are the same.
