> Here is the method that does a sync() of lagging followers with leader in the
> quorum. We rely on this to see a consistent snapshot of ZK data from multiple
> clients. However the problem is that the underlying sync() call is actually
> asynchronous since we are passing a 'null' call back. See the ZK API
> [doc|https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.5.7/apidocs/zookeeper-server/index.html]
> for details. The end-result is that sync() doesn't guarantee that it has
> happened by the time it returns.

> * <p>
> * This is used for compareAndSwap type operations where we need to read the
> * data of an existing node and delete or transition that node, utilizing
> the

> We rely on this heavily (at least in the older branches that do ZK based
> region assignment). In branch-1 we saw weird "BadVersionException" exceptions
> in RITs because of the inconsistent view of the ZK snapshot. It could
> manifest differently in other branches. Either way, this is something we need
> to fix.
