Jordan Zimmerman commented on CURATOR-498:
------------------------------------------
[~shayshim] I've made a new CURATOR-498 branch
(https://github.com/apache/curator/commit/31151b67b2b704d7a31579284168d3f034694fed).
It's not complete so I won't make a PR yet. Please test this branch. Instead
of the previous fix this one sets a watcher on the ZNode that was found as part
of protection and LeaderLatch resets if this watcher fires. This is a
compromise solution. The watcher only gets set in the rare case where
protection mode is implemented. This way, in the normal case, LeaderLatch
doesn't have to pay the penalty of setting a watch on its node.
> 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: Blocker
> Attachments: CURATOR-498.png, HaWatcher.log, LeaderLatch0.java,
> ha.tar.gz, logs.tar.gz, reproduction.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.
