    Description

      We've observed the following behavior in elections when a node is lagging behind the quorum in its view of the ensemble topology.

      • Node A is operating with node B in its voting view, but without view of node C.
      • B votes for C.
      • A then switches its vote to C, but throws a NPE when attempting to connect.

      This causes the QuorumPeer to spin up a Follower only to immediately have it shutdown by the exception.

      Ideally, A would not advertise a vote for a server that it will not follow.
