Hi, We experienced the following issue while doing a rolling restart of our five-server Zookeeper cluster. While server id 5 was rebooted the filesystem with the contents of Zookeeper's dataDir was reformatted by mistake, however the contents of dataLogDir was left intact as it is stored in a different filesystem. When Zookeeper started it didn't find the dataDir so it crated a new one and started a FastLeaderElection. The problem was server id 5 did not get a snapshot from the leader but a diff instead. So, server 5 ended up with an empty znode space while the other servers had all znodes intact. Does anyone know what is the expected behavior if the contents of the dataDir go missing but all transaction logs in datalogDir are still present when Zookeeper is restarted?
Thanks, --Jay
