Hi, Han,
             I do not  encounter that problem these days  after using this patch.  I think there is no COMPACT in my environment.  Actaully , I don't see any snap file in /var/lib/openvswitch.  


Thanks,
Yun

Sorry for the late reply. It was holiday here.
I didn't see such problem when there is no compaction. Did you see this problem when DB compaction didn't happen? The difference is that after compaction the RAFT log doesn't have any entries and all the data is in the snapshot.

Hi,Han
         Another question. NO COMPACT. If restart a follower , leader sender some entries during the  break time, when it has started, if it also happend to this problem?  What is the difference between simply restart and COMPACT with restart ?


Thanks,
Yun

Hi,Han
         Thanks for your reply.  I think maybe we can disconnect the failed follower from the Haproxy then synchronize the date, after all completed, reconnect it to Haproxy again. But I do not know how to synchronize actually. 
         It is just my naive idea. Do you have some suggestion about how to fix this problem.  If not very completed, I wii have a try.


Thanks
Yun

I think it is a bug. I noticed that this problem happens when the cluster is restarted after DB compaction. I mentioned it in one of the test cases: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/tests/ovsdb-cluster.at#L252
I also mentioned another problem related to compaction: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/tests/ovsdb-cluster.at#L239
I was planning to debug these but didn't get the time yet. I will try to find some time next week (it would be great if you could figure it out and submit patches).



Thanks,
Han
