### What version of Dgraph are you using?

```auto
v20.07.0-beta.Jun15

```

### Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

Yep.

### What is the hardware spec (RAM, OS)?

- 8 vCPUs, 30 GB memory, 100 GB HD
- Ubuntu Bionic Beaver

### Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

```bash
dgraph zero &
dgraph alpha --tls_dir ./tls -p p1 -w w1 &
dgraph alpha --tls_dir ./tls -p p2 -w w2 -o1 &

```

### Expected behaviour and actual result.

The expected is that errors would report errors, and non-errors would not report errors.  
The actual results are the following when starting up 1st alpha and 2nd alpha.

```auto
I0622 19:41:27.283878 23691 zero.go:422] Got connection request: cluster_info_only:true

From what I understand, although these warning messages show up, the cluster still starts up healthy and can accept requests.
