Alexander Shraer commented on ZOOKEEPER-2476:
---------------------------------------------
We need a vote (ACCEPT message if I remember correctly) from a quorum of the
new configuration (2 votes) and unfortunately observers do not vote (observers
just get the commit messages). This is the main reason for throwing an error.
But actually, observers may be missing operations that are currently being
voted on.

> Contrary to the documentation, it is not possible to upgrade via reconfig a
> Participant+Observer cluster to a Participant+Participant cluster.
> KeeperException.NewConfigNoQuorum is thrown instead.
> PrepRequestProcessor should recognize this special case and let it pass. Test
> will be enclosed shortly. I'll work on a fix as well, but I imagine that
> [~shralex] will want to look at it.
