> Frequently the servers deadlock in QuorumCnxManager:initiateConnection on
> s.read(msgBuffer) when reading the challenge from the peer.
> Calls to initiateConnection and receiveConnection are synchronized, so only one or the other can be executing at a time. This prevents two connections from opening between the same pair of servers.
> However, it seems that this leads to deadlock, as in this scenario:
> {noformat}
> A (initiate --> B)
> B (initiate --> C)
> C (initiate --> A)
> {noformat}
> initiateConnection can only complete when receiveConnection runs on the remote peer and answers the challenge. If all servers are blocked in initiateConnection, receiveConnection never runs and leader election halts.
