Description

2 of our nodes died after attempting to replay a commit. I can attach the commit log file if that helps.
It was occurring on 1.2.8, after several failed attempts to start, we attempted startup with 1.2.10. This also yielded the same issue (below). The only resolution was to physically move the commit log file out of the way and then the nodes were able to start...

The replication factor was 3 so I'm hoping there was no data loss...
