Zookeeper Quorum leader election

We have a quorum of 3 ZK nodes zk1, zk2 and zk3.
All nodes are identicals.

After multiple restart of the ZK nodes, always keeping the majority of 2,
we have noticed that the node zk1 has never become the leader.
Only zk2 and zk3 become leader.

1) Is there any know reason or possible misconfiguration that may cause zk1
to never become a leader? (note that we do not have any zk group set-up)

2) Is there any command or way to force zk1 to become leader of the quorum?

Note that all connected SolrJ clients have zkhost set to
zk1:port,zk2:port,zk3:port

Thanks.

Re: Zookeeper Quorum leader election

The leader election issue we were having was solved by passing

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

to zookeeper startup script

It seems our Linux servers have IPv6 enabled but we have no IPv6 network.

Hope this helps others.

Arcadius.
