> The following sequence can happen.
> 1. Broker A is the controller and is in the middle of processing a broker change event. As part of this process, let's say it's about to shrink the isr of a partition.
> 2. Then broker A's session expires and broker B takes over as the new controller. Broker B sends the initial leaderAndIsr request to all brokers.
> 3. Broker A continues by shrinking the isr of the partition in ZK and sends the new leaderAndIsr request to the broker (say C) that leads the partition. Broker C will reject this leaderAndIsr since the request comes from a controller with an older epoch. Now we could be in a situation that Broker C thinks the isr has all replicas, but the isr stored in ZK is different.
