-----------------------------------------
Can someone attach a test that demonstrates this issue?
> LeaderSelector may (undetectably) fail to elect
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CURATOR-15
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-15
> Project: Apache Curator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Recipes
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-incubating
> Reporter: Shevek
> Assignee: Jordan Zimmerman
> Fix For: 2.0.1-incubating
>
>
> In LeaderSelector, if mutex.acquire() throws an Exception, for example
> because CuratorFramework.getZooKeeper() threw a previously-enqueued
> background exception, then that failure will propagate out of doWork and
> doWorkLoop, and kill the background submission onto the executor service.
> This means that a leaderselector which was start()ed will NEVER elect, and
> this situation is NOT DETECTABLE externally, since that exception happens on
> a private executorservice thread and is not client visible. It's impossible
> to look at a LeaderSelector and decide whether it is still "viable".
> This can leave a machine/process "hung" and not automatically recoverable
> within curator.
> Either isQueued() needs to be exposed, which means that a leader is either
> elected or queued; or the finally{} block which calls clearIsQueued() needs
> also to set state to CLOSED or FAILED, so that we can query this failure
> externally.
