Jeremy Stribling commented on ZOOKEEPER-1367:
---------------------------------------------
I'd like to avoid getting into the exact algorithmic details about our code,
but the nodes share their local information to a central component via RPC that
then updates each server with the full list, before any of them even start ZK
in the first place. We print this info out in another log, and I've verified
that it's the same on the two live nodes before ZK starts. That configuration
info is:

Furthermore, we were running this exact same way with 3.3.3 for more than a
year, and this particular test has always passed. So unless we were doing
something bad before and 3.4 now enforces it, or some new requirements crept
into 3.4, I'm pretty confident in saying that our setup is consistent across
both live nodes.

> In one of our tests, we have a cluster of three ZooKeeper servers. We kill
> all three, and then restart just two of them. Sometimes we notice that on
> one of the restarted servers, ephemeral nodes from previous sessions do not
> get deleted, while on the other server they do. We are effectively running
> 3.4.2, though technically we are running 3.4.1 with the patch manually
> applied for ZOOKEEPER-1333 and a C client for 3.4.1 with the patches for
> ZOOKEEPER-1163.
> I noticed that when I connected using zkCli.sh to the first node (90.0.0.221,
> zkid 84), I saw only one znode in a particular path:

> These never went away for the lifetime of the server, for any clients
> connected directly to that server. Note that this cluster is configured to
> have all three servers still, the third one being down (90.0.0.223, zkid 162).
> I captured the data/snapshot directories for the the two live servers. When
> I start single-node servers using each directory, I can briefly see that the
> inconsistent data is present in those logs, though the ephemeral nodes seem
> to get (correctly) cleaned up pretty soon after I start the server.
> I will upload a tar containing the debug logs and data directories from the
> failure. I think we can reproduce it regularly if you need more info.
