-------------------------------------------
[~hanm] I am interested, I'll try to get something together in a week or so.
> Quorum port binding needs exponential back-off retry
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2849
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: quorum
> Affects Versions: 3.4.6, 3.5.3
> Reporter: Brian Lininger
> Priority: Minor
>
> Recently we upgraded the AWS instance type we use for running out ZooKeeper
> nodes, and by doing so we're intermittently hitting an issue where ZooKeeper
> cannot bind to the server election port because the IP is incorrect. This is
> due to name resolution in Route53 not being in sync when ZooKeeper starts on
> the more powerful EC2 instances. Currently in QuorumCnxManager.Listener, we
> only attempt to bind 3 times with a 1s sleep between retries, which is not
> long enough.
> I'm proposing to change this to follow an exponential back-off type strategy
> where each failed attempt causes a longer sleep between retry attempts. This
> would allow for Zookeeper to gracefully recover when the host is
> misconfigured, and subsequently corrected, without requiring the process to
> be restarted while also minimizing the impact to the running instance.
