--------------------------------------
Assignee: Michael Han
> Make sync a quorum operation
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-1675
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1675
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0, 3.5.0
> Reporter: Alexander Shraer
> Assignee: Michael Han
> Priority: Major
>
> sync + read is supposed to return at least the latest write that completes
> before the sync starts. This is true if the leader doesn't change, but when
> it does it may not work. The problem happens when the old leader L1 still
> thinks that it is the leader but some other leader L2 was already elected and
> committed some operations. Suppose that follower F is connected to L1 and
> invokes a sync. Even though L1 responds to the sync, the recent operations
> committed by L2 will not be flushed to F so a subsequent read on F will not
> see these operations.
> To prevent this we should broadcast the sync like updates.
> This problem is also mentioned in Section 4.4 of the ZooKeeper peper (but the
> proposed solution there is insufficient to solve the issue).
