[jira] [Created] (ZOOKEEPER-1653) zookeeper fails to start because of inconsistent epoch

Michi Mutsuzaki created ZOOKEEPER-1653:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: zookeeper fails to start because of inconsistent epoch
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-1653
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1653
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: quorum
    Affects Versions: 3.4.5
            Reporter: Michi Mutsuzaki


It looks like QuorumPeer.loadDataBase() could fail if the server was restarted after zk.takeSnapshot() but before finishing self.setCurrentEpoch(newEpoch).

{code:java}
case Leader.NEWLEADER: // it will be NEWLEADER in v1.0
    zk.takeSnapshot();
    self.setCurrentEpoch(newEpoch); // <<< got restarted here
    snapshotTaken = true;
    writePacket(new QuorumPacket(Leader.ACK, newLeaderZxid, null, null), true);
    break;
{code}

The server fails to start because currentEpoch is still 1 but the last processed zkid from the snapshot has been updated to 2.
