A server will try to recover as best it can (using the snaps/logs it has available), and then talk to the other servers in the quorum to see if anyone else has a more recent committed change. In the case where it doesn't it will download what's necessary to get in sync with the new leader. What might have happened in your case is that you hit a bug, perhaps a type of corruption that we don't handle successfully. e.g. see ZOOKEEPER-1449 Patrick
