------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi [~randgalt], yes I saw that issue and from its description, I decided that 
it was a slightly different one. In this case, it's simple races within 
LeaderLatch, reconnect happens right after the connection is lost, ie within 
one session. Honestly, I did not read all the comments. So, if you think that 
this is a duplicate, feel free to close it.

> We use LeaderLatch in a lot of places in our system and when ZooKeeper 
> ensemble is unstable and clients are reconnecting to logs are full of 
> messages like the following:
> {{[2017-08-31 
> 19:18:34,562][ERROR][org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.leader.LeaderLatch] 
> Can't find our node. Resetting. Index: -1 {}}}
> According to the 
> [implementation|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4251fe328908e5fca37af034fabc190aa452c73f/curator-recipes/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/recipes/leader/LeaderLatch.java#L529-L536],
>  this can happen in two cases:
>  * When internal state `ourPath` is null
>  * When the list of latches does not have the expected one.
> I believe we hit the first condition because of races that occur after client 
> reconnects to ZooKeeper.
>  * Client reconnects to ZooKeeper and LeaderLatch gets the event and calls 
> reset method which set the internal state (`ourPath`) to null, removes old 
> latch and creates a new one. This happens in thread 
> "Curator-ConnectionStateManager-0".
>  * Almost simultaneously, LeaderLatch gets another even NodeDeleted 
> ([here|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4251fe328908e5fca37af034fabc190aa452c73f/curator-recipes/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/recipes/leader/LeaderLatch.java#L543-L554])
>  and tries to re-read the list of latches and check leadership. This happens 
> in the thread "main-EventThread".
> Therefore, sometimes there is a situation when method `checkLeadership` is 
> called when `ourPath` is null.
> Below is an approximate diagram of what happens:
