Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-922:
-----------------------------------------
if we had a foolproof way to tell that a client is down, we could do this fast
expire. the methods you are proposing are not foolproof and will lead to
problems exactly when you most want them not to.
the timeout interactions you are talking about are problematic. it's really
hard to get them right.
one way that i can see this working is to not allow clients to reconnect to
other servers. in that can a socket reset would indicate an expired session. is
this acceptable to you?
> enable faster timeout of sessions in case of unexpected socket disconnect

> In the case when a client connection is closed due to socket error instead of
> the client calling close explicitly, it would be nice to enable the session
> associated with that client to time out faster than the negotiated session
> timeout. This would enable a zookeeper ensemble that is acting as a dynamic
> discovery provider to remove ephemeral nodes for crashed clients quickly,
> while allowing for a longer heartbeat-based timeout for java clients that
> need to do long stop-the-world GC.
> I propose doing this by setting the timeout associated with the crashed
> session to "minSessionTimeout".
