             Summary: Leader election: Duplicate ephemeral nodes with same 
owner id
                 Key: CURATOR-264
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-264
             Project: Apache Curator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Framework, Recipes
    Affects Versions: 2.8.0
            Reporter: Ole Hjalmar Herje


We sometimes experience failure in our leader-election functionality when we 
have network issues. When this situation occurs we see that there are two 
ephemeral nodes in the zookeeper cluster for the same session but there is no 
active leader. 

I have managed to recreate the same scenario by running a test locally and use 
iptables to simulate network issues. The debug log (see attachment) shows that 
findAndDeleteProtectedNodeInBackground does not delete the node because 
processResult in FindProtectedNodeCB receives a -101 (NoNode) resultcode. I 
suspect this can happen if the read is not synched?

This also seems to be related to: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-45 and
