> When the lower 32bits of a zxid "roll over" (zxid is a 64 bit number, however
> the upper 32 are considered the epoch number) the epoch number (upper 32
> bits) are incremented and the lower 32 start at 0 again.
> This should work fine, however in the current 3.3 branch the followers see
> this as a NEWLEADER message, which it's not, and effectively stop serving
> clients. Attached clients seem to eventually time out given that heartbeats
> (or any operation) are no longer processed. The follower doesn't recover from
> this.
> I've tested this out on 3.3 branch and confirmed this problem, however I
> haven't tried it on 3.4/3.5. It may not happen on the newer branches due to
> ZOOKEEPER-335, however there is certainly an issue with updating the
> "acceptedEpoch" files contained in the datadir. (I'll enter a separate jira
> for that)
