Dan Benediktson commented on ZOOKEEPER-2869:
--------------------------------------------
Our fork actually has solved this problem, using a standard jittered
exponential backoff algorithm (the problem being addressed there was partially
around addressing thundering herds, so jittering was deemed necessary for that).
I wouldn't mind porting our code and offering a patch for it; anything that
gets us closer to upstream is goodness. However, we really need to take the fix
I provided a year ago for ZOOKEEPER-2471 before doing this, otherwise allowing
higher backoff than 1 second will dramatically increase the likelihood of
clients getting completely wedged in a sleep/retry loop.

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2869
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2869
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java client
> Affects Versions: 3.4.10, 3.5.3
> Reporter: Nick Travers
> Priority: Minor
>
> As part of ZOOKEEPER-961, when the client re-establishes a connection to the
> server, it will sleep for a random number of milliseconds in the range [0,
> 1000). Introduced
> [here|https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/commit/d84dc077d576b7cdfbfd003e3425fab85ca29a44].
> These reconnects can cause excessive logging in clients if the server is
> unavailable for an extended period of time, with reconnects every 500ms on
> average.
> One solution could be to allow for exponential backoff in the client. The
> backoff params could be made configurable.
> [3.5.x
> code|https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/release-3.5.3/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/ClientCnxn.java#L1059].
> [3.4.x
> code|https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/release-3.4.9/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/ClientCnxn.java#L1051].
