hachikuji opened a new pull request #9531: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9531
When initializing the raft state machine after shutting down as a leader, we were previously entering the "unattached" state, which means we have no leader and no voted candidate. This was a bug because it allowed a reinitialized leader to cast a vote for a candidate in the same epoch that it was already the leader of. This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new "resigned" state which allows us to retain the leader state so that we cannot change our vote and we will not accept additional appends. This patch also revamps the shutdown logic to make use of the new "resigned" state. Previously we had a separate path in `KafkaRaftClient.poll` for the shutdown logic which resulted in some duplication. Instead now we incorporate shutdown behavior into each state's respective logic. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
