Timothy Ward updated ZOOKEEPER-2368:
------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 3.4.0
3.5.0
> Client watches are not disconnected on close
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2368
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2368
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0, 3.5.0
> Reporter: Timothy Ward
>
> If I have a ZooKeeper client connected to an ensemble then obviously I can
> register watches.
> If the client is disconnected (for example by a failing ensemble member) then
> I get a disconnection event for all of my watches. If, on the other hand, my
> client is closed then I *do not* get a disconnection event. This asymmetry
> makes it really hard to clear up properly when using the asynchronous API, as
> there is no way to "fail" data reads/updates when the client is closed.
> I believe that the correct behaviour should be for all watchers to receive a
> disconnection event when the client is closed. The watchers can then respond
> as appropriate, and can differentiate between a "server disconnect" and a
> "client disconnect" by checking the ZooKeeper#getState() method.
> This would not be a breaking behaviour change as Watchers are already
> required to handle disconnection events.
