Michael Han commented on ZOOKEEPER-2574:
----------------------------------------
This JIRA sounds like a duplicate of ZOOKEEPER-2420.
[~abhishekrai]: Could you please take a look at ZOOKEEPER-2420 and confirm if
it's solving the same problem as this JIRA? If so, we probably should remove
this issue from release blockers as the consensus so far in ZOOKEEPER-2420 is
that the issue is better to be fixed but we will be fine live with it for a
while, given no real issues being reported from prod (with reasons stated in
ZOOKEEPER-2420) so far.

> As part of the fix for ZOOKEEPER-1797, the call to
> FileTxnSnapLog.getSnapshotLogs() was removed from PurgeTxnLog.java. As a
> result, some old-looking but required txn log files can be deleted, resulting
> in data corruption or loss.
> For example, consider the following:
> 1. Configuration:
> autopurge.snapRetainCount=3
> 2. Following files exist:
> log.100 spans transactions from zxid=100 till zxid=140 (inclusive)
> snapshot.110 - snapshot as of zxid=110
> snapshot.120 - snapshot as of zxid=120
> snapshot.130 - snapshot as of zxid=130
> Above scenario is possible when snapshotting has happened multiple times but
> without accompanying log rollover, which is possible if the server was
> running as a learner.
> 3. PurgeTxnLog retains all snapshots but deletes log.100 because its zxid is
> older than the zxid of the oldest snapshot (110). This results in loss of
> transactions in the range 131-140.
> Before the fix for ZOOKEEPER-1797, this was avoided by the call to
> FileTxnSnapLog.getSnapshotLogs() which finds and retains the newest txn log
> file with starting zxid < oldest retained snapshot's highest zxid.
