Mel Martinez commented on ZOOKEEPER-2251:
-----------------------------------------

Yes, we've been figuring this out.

Unfortunately, customer deployment requirements can sometimes limit our control 
over the environment.  We are trying to make things as robust and fault 
tolerant as possible while still allowing for as much flexibility in how things 
are deployed.  There are obviously limits to that!


> Add Client side packet response timeout to avoid infinite wait.

> I came across one issue related to Client side packet response timeout In my 
> cluster many packet drops happened for some time.
> One observation is the zookeeper client got hanged. As per the thread dump it 
> is waiting for the response/ACK for the operation performed (synchronous API 
> used here).
> I am using 
> zookeeper.serverCnxnFactory=org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory
> Since only few packets missed there is no DISCONNECTED event occurred.
> Need add a "response time out" for the operations or packets.
> *Comments from [~rakeshr]*
> My observation about the problem:-
> * Can use tools like 'Wireshark' to simulate the artificial packet loss.
> * Assume there is only one packet in the 'outgoingQueue' and unfortunately 
> the server response packet lost. Now, client will enter into infinite 
> waiting. 
> https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/trunk/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/ClientCnxn.java#L1515
> * Probably we can discuss more about this problem and possible solutions(add 
> packet ACK timeout or another better approach) in the jira.
