----------------------------------
Summary: Need a way to handle connection lost while entering
double barrier
Key: CURATOR-330
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-330
Project: Apache Curator
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Recipes
Affects Versions: 2.10.0
Reporter: Simon Wang
Here is the problem I’m meeting:
Assuming 3 node ensemble, my application has 3 clients and each one runs on
same zk node (Client 1, 2 and 3). They use double barrier for coordination.
Client 1 is entering the barrier and waiting for the other 2. Now the other 2
nodes are down and then the ensemble gets crashed and the client 1 gets
LostConnectionException from enter(). That’s expected.
After while the other 2 nodes come back, all clients need to retry operation
and reenter the same barrier (It might become more complex if creating a new
barrier). Here is the problem:
If the session for client 1 is still alive, Client 1 calling enter method will
get NodeExistException as the ephemeral node corresponding to that session is
not deleted yet.
I wonder in this case what should I do from application side? Or I’m thinking
can we add a mechanism to reenter the barrier but skip creating child node for
this client if that exists?
I would like to open a Jira for this if required.
Thanks,
Simon
