Michael Han commented on ZOOKEEPER-2466:
----------------------------------------
[~fpj] Just to confirm that I am seeing the same failures of TestClient.cc in
the VM your provided consistently. Not sure why same tests passed on my own
cluster consistently. Will report back after I dig a little more into this.
> Client skips servers when trying to connect

> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c client
> Reporter: Flavio Junqueira
> Assignee: Flavio Junqueira
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 3.5.3, 3.6.0

>
> I've been looking at {{Zookeeper_simpleSystem::testFirstServerDown}} and I
> observed the following behavior. The list of servers to connect contains two
> servers, let's call them S1 and S2. The client never connects, but the odd
> bit is the sequence of servers that the client tries to connect to:
> {noformat}
> S1
> S2
> S1
> S1
> S1
> <keeps repeating S1>
> {noformat}
> It intrigued me that S2 is only tried once and never again. Checking the
> code, here is what happens. Initially, {{zh->reconfig}} is 1, so in
> {{zoo_cycle_next_server}} we return an address from
> {{get_next_server_in_reconfig}}, which is taken from {{zh->addrs_new}} in
> this test case. The attempt to connect fails, and {{handle_error}} is invoked
> in the error handling path. {{handle_error}} actually invokes
> {{addrvec_next}} which changes the address pointer to the next server on the
> list.
> After two attempts, it decides that it has tried all servers in
> {{zoo_cycle_next_server}} and sets {{zh->reconfig}} to zero. Once
> {{zh->reconfig == 0}}, we have that each call to {{zoo_cycle_next_server}}
> moves the address pointer to the next server in {{zh->addrs}}. But, given
> that {{handle_error}} also moves the pointer to the next server, we end up
> moving the pointer ahead twice upon every failed attempt to connect, which is
> wrong.
