ActiveMQ Artemis rolling upgrade fails with AMQ214013 - activemq-artemis

Question

I've got two EC2 instances running Artemis in the master-slave replication setup and I always perform rolling upgrade by shutting down the slave, upgrading it and starting it again. Then I do the same with the master.
This no longer works for me while upgrading from 2.17 to 2.18. After upgrading one of the nodes I always get this message on that node:
AMQ214013: Failed to decode packet: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: readerIndex(57) + length(1) exceeds writerIndex(57): PooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(ridx: 57, widx: 57, cap: 57)
No matter what I do. I even tried to setup a fresh new cluster only adding replication related bits of configuration:
Master
<connectors>
<connector name="broker-master">tcp://10.35.4.16:61616</connector>
<connector name="broker-slave">tcp://10.35.4.211:61616</connector>
</connectors>
<cluster-connections>
<cluster-connection name="cluster">
<connector-ref>broker-master</connector-ref>
<check-period>5000</check-period>
<static-connectors>
<connector-ref>broker-slave</connector-ref>
</static-connectors>
</cluster-connection>
</cluster-connections>
<ha-policy>
<replication>
<master>
<cluster-name>cluster</cluster-name>
<group-name>rs1</group-name>
<check-for-live-server>true</check-for-live-server>
</master>
</replication>
</ha-policy>
Slave
<connectors>
<connector name="broker-master">tcp://10.35.4.16:61616</connector>
<connector name="broker-slave">tcp://10.35.4.211:61616</connector>
</connectors>
<cluster-connections>
<cluster-connection name="cluster">
<connector-ref>broker-slave</connector-ref>
<check-period>5000</check-period>
<static-connectors>
<connector-ref>broker-master</connector-ref>
</static-connectors>
</cluster-connection>
</cluster-connections>
<ha-policy>
<replication>
<slave>
<cluster-name>cluster</cluster-name>
<group-name>rs1</group-name>
<allow-failback>true</allow-failback>
</slave>
</replication>
</ha-policy>
Is there anything wrong with my configuration, or is it just not possible to from 2.17 to 2.18 like this?

This bug was introduced via ARTEMIS-3340. It should be fixed in the next release (i.e. 2.22.0). Until then there's no work-around unfortunately.
You may consider creating a completely separate new live/backup pair and then using a DNS update to direct clients from the old pair to the new pair.
