Alexander Shraer commented on ZOOKEEPER-2172:
---------------------------------------------
I may be wrong, but it looks like the crash on server 2 happens after the sync,
when the server tries to respond to the leader's PING. It executes the
following:
protected void processPacket(QuorumPacket qp) throws Exception{
switch (qp.getType()) {
case Leader.PING:
ping(qp);
So just tries to send a PING back. The ping() function in Learner.java sends
the same packet back, just changes the data, it doesn't create a new packet. I
wonder if its a problem somehow that a new packet is not being created. The
exception message is NullPointerException, so maybe somehow the old packet gets
deallocated ?

> The operations are quite simple: start three zk servers one by one, then
> reconfig the cluster to add the new one as a participant. When I add the
> third one, the zk cluster may enter a weird state and cannot recover.
>
> I found “2015-04-20 12:53:48,236 [myid:1] - INFO [ProcessThread(sid:1
> cport:-1)::PrepRequestProcessor@547] - Incremental reconfig” in node-1 log.
> So the first node received the reconfig cmd at 12:53:48. Latter, it logged
> “2015-04-20 12:53:52,230 [myid:1] - ERROR
> [LearnerHandler-/10.0.0.2:55890:LearnerHandler@580] - Unexpected exception
> causing shutdown while sock still open” and “2015-04-20 12:53:52,231 [myid:1]
> - WARN [LearnerHandler-/10.0.0.2:55890:LearnerHandler@595] - ******* GOODBYE
> /10.0.0.2:55890 ********”. From then on, the first node and second node
> rejected all client connections and the third node didn’t join the cluster as
> a participant. The whole cluster was done.
>
> When the problem happened, all three nodes just used the same dynamic
> config file zoo.cfg.dynamic.10000005d which only contained the first two
> nodes. But there was another unused dynamic config file in node-1 directory
> zoo.cfg.dynamic.next which already contained three nodes.
>
> When I extended the waiting time between starting the third node and
> reconfiguring the cluster, the problem didn’t show again. So it should be a
> race condition problem.
