From: Han Zhou <hzh...@ebay.com> After election timer is changed through cluster/change-election-timer command, if a server restarts, it firstly initializes with the default value and use it to reset the timer. Although it reads the latest timer value later from the log, the first timeout may be much shorter than expected by other servers that use latest timeout, and it would start election before it receives the first heartbeat from the leader.
This patch fixes it by changing the order of reading log and resetting timer so that the latest value is read from the log before the initial resetting of the timer. Fixes: commit 8e35461 ("ovsdb raft: Support leader election time change online.")
