Hongchao Deng commented on ZOOKEEPER-2016:
------------------------------------------
According to the algorithm described in the paper, it seems like only a portion
of clients need to be rebalanced.
But watching on CONFIG_ZNODE is a method that affects all.
Because ZK servers (incl. observers) know all the connected clients to itself
and thus who needs to be rebalanced. I am wondering if we could have better
solution to auto rebalance..

> ZOOKEEPER-1355 introduced client-side rebalancing, which is implemented in
> both the C and Java client libraries. However, it requires the client to
> detect a configuration change and call updateServerList with the new
> connection string (see reconfig manual). It may be better if the client just
> indicates that he is interested in this feature when creating a ZK handle and
> we'll detect configuration changes and invoke updateServerList for him
> underneath the hood.
