Suppose three nodes a, b, c with 3 copies and one object N. Then

a tries to get object list from b, c and get N from b and N from c because N
belongs to this node. Then we'll have duplicate N if you don't screen out the
objects.

We have to fetch from local node too because we need to get the complete object
list.

Suppose we have 2 nodes and 2 objects with 1 copy.

a[O1], b[O2]. If a wouldn't try to get object list from itself, O1 will be lost.
and b will lose O2 for the same reason.
