>
> There is a race condition between the highwatermark thread and the
> handleLeaderAndIsrRequest call of the request handler thread. When a broker
> starts, the highwatermark thread tries to persist all the checkpoints of the
> partitions in ReplicaManager. This partition map in ReplicaManager is
> initially empty. When the leaderAndIsrRequest runs, it updates each partition
> and if the highwatermark thread runs during this interval, it is essentially
> going to overwrite the highwatermark file to an inconsistent state. The read
> of the highwatermark reads from the file each time and hence would return the
> inconsistent state.
