[jira] [Commented] (ZOOKEEPER-3182) Race condition when follower syncing with leader and starting to serve requests

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3182?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16695423#comment-16695423 ] 

Michael K. Edwards commented on ZOOKEEPER-3182:
-----------------------------------------------

Is this fix needed for 3.5.5?

> This issue is probably introduced by ZOOKEEPER-2024 where 2 seperate queues have been implemented in CommitProcessor to improve performance. [~abrahamfine] 's analysis is accurate on GitHub: https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/300
> He was trying to introduce synchronization between Learner.syncWithLeader() and CommitProcessor to wait for in-flight requests to be committed before accepting client requests.
> In the affected unit test ({{testNodeDataChanged}}) there's a race between reconnecting client's setWatches request and updates coming from the leader according to the following logs:

> {noformat}
> {{delete}} and {{create}} requests happen way before {{setWatches}} comes in (even before the client connection is established) and client receives NodeDataChanged event only.
> Abe's approach unfortunately raises the following concerns:
> - modifies CommitProcessor's code which might affect performance and correctness ([~shralex] raised on ZOOKEEPER-2807),
> - we experienced deadlocks while testing the patch: https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/300
> As a consequence I raised this Jira to capture the experiences and to put the unit test on Ignore list, because currently I'm not sure about whether this is a real issue or a non-backward compatible change in 3.6 with the gain of a huge performance improvement.
> Either way I don't want this flaky test to influence contributions, so I'll mark as Ignored on trunk until the issue is resolved.
