Vishal K commented on ZOOKEEPER-790: ------------------------------------ Hi Flavio, Apologies for not trying the patch sooner. I will try out the patch soon (altough Sergey has pointed out a potential problem). I am still not conviced why the other two nodes that have formed the cluster are in LOOKING state? You mentioned that - "The notifications of 1 and 2 say looking because they have been queued at the time 1 and 2 were looking for a leader. That's not an issue". However, in this case, we have failed a follower and not a leader. Why would failure of a follower cause the other two nodes (including the leader) to start looking for a leader? Am I missing something? Thanks. -Vishal > Last processed zxid set prematurely while establishing leadership > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-790 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-790 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: quorum > Affects Versions: 3.3.1 > Reporter: Flavio Junqueira > Assignee: Flavio Junqueira > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 3.3.2, 3.4.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-790-3.3.patch, ZOOKEEPER-790-3.3.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-790-follower-request-NPE.log, ZOOKEEPER-790.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-790.patch, ZOOKEEPER-790.patch, ZOOKEEPER-790.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-790.patch, ZOOKEEPER-790.travis.log.bz2 > > > The leader code is setting the last processed zxid to the first of the new > epoch even before connecting to a quorum of followers.
