Jordan Zimmerman commented on CURATOR-498:
------------------------------------------
The {{getChildren()}} call I'm referring to is not in LeaderLatch. It's in
Curator's node creation code that performs "protection". You can see it in
CreateBuilderImpl.java - search for {{protectedId}} and {{doProtected}}. This
code handles an edge case in ZooKeeper whereby a sequential znode is
successfully created on the server but the connection to the client is lost
before the node name is returned to the client. As the session is still valid
there's no way (without Curator's handling of "protection") to get the ZNode
that was created.
> LeaderLatch deletes leader and leaves it hung besides a second leader

> Key: CURATOR-498
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-498
> Project: Apache Curator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1, 4.1.0
> Environment: ZooKeeper 3.4.13, Curator 4.1.0 (selecting explicitly
> 3.4.13), Linux
> Reporter: Shay Shimony
> Assignee: Jordan Zimmerman
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: CURATOR-498.png, HaWatcher.log, LeaderLatch0.java,
> ha.tar.gz, logs.tar.gz
>
>
> The Curator app I am working on uses the LeaderLatch to select a leader out
> of 6 clients.
> While testing my app, I noticed that when I make ZK lose its quorum for a
> while and then restore it, then after Curator in my app restores it's
> connection to ZK - sometimes not all the 6 clients are found in the latch
> path (using zkCli.sh). That is, I have 5 instead of 6.
> After investigating a little, I have a suspicion that LeaderLatch deleted the
> leader in method setNode.
> To investigate it I copied the LeaderLatch code and added some log messages,
> and from them it seems like very old create() background callback was
> surprisingly scheduled and corrupted the current leader with its stale path
> name. Meaning, this old one called setNode with its stale name, and set
> itself instead of the leader and deleted the leader. This leaves client
> running, thinking it is the leader, while another leader is selected.
> If my analysis is correct then it seems like we need to make this obsolete
> create callback cancelled (I think its session was suspended on 22:38:54 and
> then lost on 22:39:04 - so on SUSPENDED cancel ongoing callbacks).
> Please see attached log file and modified LeaderLatch0.
>
> In the log, note that on 22:39:26 it shows that 0000000485 is replaced by
> 0000000480 and then probably deleted.
> Note also that at 22:38:52, 34 seconds before, we can see that it was in the
> reset() method ("RESET OUR PATH") and possibly triggered the creation of
> 0000000480 then.
