unable to read topology after recovering a failed controller in cluster

The system test failure happens sporadically, but twice in a row most
recently:
https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/releng/view/ovsdb/job/ovsdb-csit-3node-clustering-only-beryllium

The test reports a failure because a GET @ /restconf/operational/network-topology:network-topology/topology/ovsdb:1 returns 500.

full error below, but appears to indicate some trouble doing a read on the topology shard.

this GET is done on a node that was first an Owner, then killed and restarted.

I only have the CSIT to go by at this point and have not reproduced locally or with any more simple
steps. Maybe this is not OVSDB specific and belongs in controller project as a generic clustering
bug, but because it is seen in OVSDB CSIT, I'm putting it here first.
