No, this all RSs trying to copy the failed RS' queues over. Most of them will fail, but still report all the queues that they *tried* to move. For each of those a ReplicationSource is setup, which then fails when attempting to update the replication status (because their ZK nodes were never created) and then causing the RS to abort (because the RS is setup as abortable for the zkHelper used here - which actually might be yet another problem).

Is this our making use of multi against a zk ensemble that doesn't support it?
