-----------------------------------
[~sfingram] - If you can open a pull request on GitHub with unit tests and the
fix, that would be the fastest way of us getting the issue resolved for you. If
you don't have the time for this, then I can try to work on it, but will
probably just duplicate whatever you have.
> Repeated InterruptedExceptions during mutex acquire leads to LeaderSelector
> deadlock
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CURATOR-205
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-205
> Project: Apache Curator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Recipes
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Stephen Ingram
>
> When an InterruptedException is thrown during the internalLockLoop that is
> called during mutex.acquire, internalLockLoop will set a flag "doDelete"
> which signals during a finally clause to delete the lock path that we are
> trying to create.
> However, in the pathInForeground function of DeleteBuilderImpl, a _second_
> InterruptedException may occur before zookeeper can delete the specified
> path. The RetryLoop machinery contained in the function will only retry if
> it is a Retryable Exception, an equivalence class which does not include
> InterruptedExceptions.
> The second InterruptedException exception then causes an exit of the
> pathInForeground function without deleting the path, leading to a deadlock
> where no one can acquire the mutex.
> In my test, I am certain that both of these InterruptedExceptions are due to
> repeated fluctuation in the ConnectionStateManager's connection state. When
> the state ceases to fluctuate, no leader can be selected due to the
> persistence of the node we failed to delete.
> I was able to address this bug with a solution similar to CURATOR-45: if the
> pathInForeground function is interrupted with an InterruptedException, I
> schedule a BackgroundCallback to attempt pathInForeground again. This task
> is able to delete the path when the connection is stable and the mutex is
> acquired by the new leader.
> I have a repro and a fix if needed.
