Alexandre Hardy commented on ZOOKEEPER-917:
-------------------------------------------

We noted that certain ephemeral nodes were no longer behaving as expected 
(started incrementing from zero again) and are concerned about the potential of 
data loss since the latest zxid's don't seem to be recognized by the leader.

> Leader election selected incorrect leader

>             Project: Zookeeper
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: leaderElection, server
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.2
>         Environment: Cloudera distribution of zookeeper (patched to never 
> cache DNS entries)
> Debian lenny
>            Reporter: Alexandre Hardy
>            Priority: Critical

> We had three nodes running zookeeper:
>   * 192.168.130.10
>   * 192.168.130.11
>   * 192.168.130.14
> 192.168.130.11 failed, and was replaced by a new node 192.168.130.13 
> (automated startup). The new node had not participated in any zookeeper 
> quorum previously. The node 192.148.130.11 was permanently removed from 
> service and could not contribute to the quorum any further (powered off).
> DNS entries were updated for the new node to allow all the zookeeper servers 
> to find the new node.
> The new node 192.168.130.13 was selected as the LEADER, despite the fact that 
> it had not seen the latest zxid.
> This particular problem has not been verified with later versions of 
> zookeeper, and no attempt has been made to reproduce this problem as yet.
