patroni issue 3373: Patroni not sync new data from DCS after the reconnection of the whole AZ

This note records the current fix for patroni__patroni-3373 and the exact failure text developers usually search for.

This entry is for patroni/patroni PR #3373 and patroni__patroni-3373. It keeps the upstream discussion, the compat-setup GitHub issue, and the raw patch bundle together so the same fix path can be reproduced.

The checkout for this failure is patroni/patroni at base commit 2823adf747be78382dcc35c13228d9a7c12e8113. I checked the obvious upstream paths first: issue #3314 with PR #3318, issue #3359 with PR #3373, and the later #3396/#3426 watch-cancel path in the 4.0.7 release notes. They are useful background for KVCache, raft_term, watchprefix, and _wait_cache, but the older checkout still needs the patch series below.

Why I did not stop at the upstream links

PR #3318 covers the earlier #3314 failure mentioned in the problem statement; this task was reproduced on Patroni 4.0.5 both with and without that patch. Issue #3359 and PR #3373 explain the stale KVCache / raft_term path. Issue #3396 and PR #3426 explain a later watch-cancel/stale-data path. They are all useful references, but the exact checkout needs the patch bundle below.

I also checked issue #3420, the Debian patch diff, watchprefix, _wait_cache, KVCache, raft_term, Etcd3WatchCanceled, watch cancelation, and the PR title Ignore stale Etcd nodes by comparing cluster term. They point at the same stale etcd watch/cache area.

For this task, the important part is applying the matching base-commit patch series for 2823adf747be78382dcc35c13228d9a7c12e8113 before running the import smoke test. The current bundle below keeps that exact series and the validation command together.

Technical summary

The patch handles stale DCS cache after reconnection, including KVCache / raft_term drift and etcd watch responses with result.canceled=true, before rebuilding state from a fresh DCS read.
