[jira] [Created] (ZOOKEEPER-3231) Purge task may lost data when we have many invalid snapshot files.

Jiafu Jiang created ZOOKEEPER-3231:
--------------------------------------

             Summary:  Purge task may lost data when we have many invalid snapshot files.
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-3231
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3231
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: server
    Affects Versions: 3.4.13, 3.5.4
            Reporter: Jiafu Jiang


I read the ZooKeeper source code, and I find the purge task use FileTxnSnapLog#findNRecentSnapshots to find snapshots, but the method does not check whether the snapshots are valid.

Consider a worse case, a ZooKeeper server may have many invalid snapshots, and when a purge task begins, is will use the zxid in the last snapshot file name to purge old snapshots or transaction logs, then we may lost data. 

I think we should use FileSnap#findNValidSnapshots(int) instead of FileSnap#findNRecentSnapshots in FileTxnSnapLog#findNRecentSnapshots. I am not sure.
