Github user revans2 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/157 @rakeshadr If it makes you feel any better we have been running with an older version of this patch in production for a while. We have used it as part of a rolling upgrade at least 10 times in production where if it were not there we would have had some very painful outages. I have also manually tested it at least 50 times shooting the leader under load (10,000 operations/second) on a 3.4 GB DB, watching it recover, and then validating the integrity of the DB to be sure we didn't get any corruption.
