Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-1367:
-----------------------------------------
bq. we need to restart all the ZK servers
Hm..... very interesting. What exactly does this mean? You mentioned earlier
that you "embed Zookeeper into our application framework and set up things
through code" how exactly are you performing this "restart". Is ZK a separate
process, are you killing processes, or are you calling some code to effect
this? I ask because we really don't support this and I'm wondering if that
could be related.
If I wanted to setup a junit test how might I go about doing it? If you could
provide some insight it might help in reproducing.
bq. I thought ZK didn't care much about wall-clock time
that's true, but the more variables we can eliminate the more easy it will be
to track the real issue down.
bq. I have not tried this. If I can wrangle the QA team into re-running the
test, I will give this a try and report back.
I suspect that the session is not getting cleared until after restarting the
cluster, but this would help to verify (I need to dig into your attachment,
planning to look at that next).

> In one of our tests, we have a cluster of three ZooKeeper servers. We kill

> ZOOKEEPER-1163.

> These never went away for the lifetime of the server, for any clients
> connected directly to that server. Note that this cluster is configured to
> have all three servers still, the third one being down (90.0.0.223, zkid 162).
> I captured the data/snapshot directories for the the two live servers. When
> I start single-node servers using each directory, I can briefly see that the
> inconsistent data is present in those logs, though the ephemeral nodes seem
> to get (correctly) cleaned up pretty soon after I start the server.
> I will upload a tar containing the debug logs and data directories from the
> failure. I think we can reproduce it regularly if you need more info.
