What happened?

In last robustness meeting we identified 3 flakes for memberReplace

• https://prow.k8s.io/view/gs/kubernetes-ci-logs/logs/ci-etcd-robustness-release34-arm64/1858782506342420480

All happening on release-3.4 and TestRobustnessExploratory/KubernetesHighTraffic/ClusterOfSize3/MemberReplace test

What did you expect to happen?

Issue not being specific to release-3.4

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

There is no way to select failpoints via test name, but you can modify allFailpoints in test/robustness/failpoint/failpoint.go to leave only MemberReplace

And run it with GO_TEST_FLAGS='-v --run TestRobustnessExploratory/KubernetesHighTraffic/ClusterOfSize3 --count 100 --failfast --timeout 1h' make test-robustness-release-3.4

Anything else we need to know?

I can take a look at this.

Without PR #11639, MemberList returns local membership configuration without linearizable guarantee. The removed member may show up in the member list response. The issue is fixed in 3.5 and above so it shall be specific to 3.4.

Release 3.4 https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/435ac802b83105be69faa18a931b13a183f1deb1/etcdserver/api/v3rpc/member.go#L90-L93

Release 3.5 https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/601a8847397b3972fec3a6b9caa17a6cde29ad59/server/etcdserver/api/v3rpc/member.go#L90-L98

Thanks for the analysis. One workaround is to issue a linearizable read request in between for 3.4.
