Jeremy Stribling commented on ZOOKEEPER-1367: --------------------------------------------- {quote} so when you say that you only add or remove one node at a time. does that mean you: 1) have a running cluster 2) take it done 3) change the configuration to add a node 4) start the cluster back up 5) wait until a leader becomes active you only add or remove the next steps after you have completed all 5 steps for the previous configuration? {quote} That's more or less correct, except that steps 2-5 are being executed in parallel on all the nodes to speed things up, so they are not proceeding in lockstep across the cluster. We wait for all nodes to complete the 5 steps before moving on to the next node, if there is one. I am still working on getting this reproduced by QA. They said they've fixed the NTP issues, so hopefully the new logs will be easier to work with if we can get it to happen again. > Data inconsistencies and unexpired ephemeral nodes after cluster restart > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1367 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1367 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.4.2 > Environment: Debian Squeeze, 64-bit > Reporter: Jeremy Stribling > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 3.4.3 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1367.tgz > > > In one of our tests, we have a cluster of three ZooKeeper servers.

I think we can reproduce it regularly if you need more info. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
