Ismael Juma commented on ZOOKEEPER-3056:
----------------------------------------
The config `snapshot.trust.empty` works, I believe (note that naming is
slightly different). However, it seems to cause other issues, see

> Fails to load database with missing snapshot file but valid transaction log

> was reported when a user failed to upgrade from 3.4.10 to 3.5.4 with missing
> snapshot file.
> The code complains about missing snapshot file is
> [here|https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/release-3.5.4/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/server/persistence/FileTxnSnapLog.java#L206]
> which is introduced as part of ZOOKEEPER-2325.
> With this check, ZK will not load the db without a snapshot file, even the
> transaction log files are present and valid. This could be a problem for
> restoring a ZK instance which does not have a snapshot file but have a sound
> state (e.g. it crashes before being able to take the first snap shot with a
> large snapCount parameter configured).
>
> *how to use this fix*
> Add zookeeper.snapshot.trust.empty=true to your server configuration file and
> start the server.
> This property will skip the check.
> It is recommended to remove the property once you have a working server,
> because that check is important to ensure that the system is in good shape
