[jira] [Updated] (ZOOKEEPER-2953) Flaky Test: testNoLogBeforeLeaderEstablishment

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2953?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Abraham Fine updated ZOOKEEPER-2953:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
testNoLogBeforeLeaderEstablishment has been flaky on 3.4, 3.5, and master for quite awhile. My understanding is that the purpose of the test is to make sure that a server receives support from the quorum before changing the epoch and acting as leader. 

There are a couple issues with the test in its current state. First, the assertions the test makes are not always true. It is possible, if the zookeeper database is not cleared, for a follower to be ahead of a leader when the quorum is shutdown. That follower will then likely become leader when the quorum is restarted. This is the cause of the flaky behavior. Second, the test does not appear to create the conditions it wants to test for.
