Hi, @yunfan123 . Thank you for your suggestion. As you said in the opinion,
so that it can guarantee a smooth upgrade. However, if the 16-bit `epoch`
overflow rather than the `counter` overflow, it will make Zookeeper cannot keep
provide services by re-election anymore. So, i thought we should keep enough
space for `epoch`. What you think?
> Reassign `ZXID` for solving 32bit overflow problem

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2789
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2789
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: quorum
> Affects Versions: 3.5.3
> Reporter: Benedict Jin
> Assignee: Benedict Jin
> Fix For: 3.6.0
>
> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h

> If it is `1k/s` ops, then as long as $2^32 / (86400 * 1000) \approx 49.7$
> days ZXID will exhausted. But, if we reassign the `ZXID` into 16bit for
> `epoch` and 48bit for `counter`, then the problem will not occur until after
> $Math.min(2^16 / 365, 2^48 / (86400 * 1000 * 365)) \approx Math.min(179.6,
> 8925.5) = 179.6$ years.
> However, i thought the ZXID is `long` type, reading and writing the long type
> (and `double` type the same) in JVM, is divided into high 32bit and low 32bit
> part of the operation, and because the `ZXID` variable is not modified with
> `volatile` and is not boxed for the corresponding reference type (`Long` /
> `Double`), so it belongs to [non-atomic operation]
> (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8 /html/jls-17.html#jls-17.7).
> Thus, if the lower 32 bits of the upper 32 bits are divided into the entire
> 32 bits of the `long`, there may be a concurrent problem.
