Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-1191:
------------------------------------------

good catch alex. wrt your patch. your problem is cur <= end: when cur == end, 
you will do a wait(0), which means wait forever. it might also be good write a 
common function and call that. something like: doSafeWaitForNewEpoch(Object 
waitObj, milliSeconds)

> Synchronization issue - wait not in guarded block

> In Leader.java, getEpochToPropose() and waitForEpochAck() have the following 
> code:
> if (readyToStart && verifier.containsQuorum(electingFollowers)) {
>      electionFinished = true;
>      electingFollowers.notifyAll();
> } else {
>      electingFollowers.wait(self.getInitLimit()*self.getTickTime());
>      if (waitingForNewEpoch) {
>       throw new InterruptedException("Out of time to propose an epoch");
>      }
> }     
> In Java, the wait statement can wake up without being notified, interrupted, 
> or timing out, a so-called spurious wakeup. So it should be guarded by a 
> while loop with the condition we're waiting for.
