Thanks @HeartSaVioR! should be fixed now.
I was wondering if we actually need this retry logic. i.e. if we can just
reset the state whenever there is an IOException (rather than not starting up
and users having to manually remove state files).
I am not sure why the retry logic was implemented this way, so I picked out
the empty file case because that's been reported multiple times (incl the
workaround of resetting the state).
