-------------------------------------

             Summary: Potential watch missing issue due to stale pzxid when 
replaying CloseSession txn with fuzzy snapshhot
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-3145
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3145
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: server
    Affects Versions: 3.4.13, 3.5.4, 3.6.0
            Reporter: Fangmin Lv
            Assignee: Fangmin Lv
             Fix For: 3.6.0


This is another issue I found recently, we haven't seen this problem on prod 
(or maybe we don't notice).

 
Currently, the CloseSession is not idempotent, executing the CloseSession twice 
won't get the same result.
 
The problem is that closeSession will only check what's the ephemeral nodes 
associated with that session bases on current states. Nodes deleted during 
taking fuzzy snapshot won't be deleted again when replay the txn.
 
This looks fine, since it's already gone, but there is problem with the pzxid 
of the parent node. Snapshot is taken fuzzily, so it's possible that the parent 
had been serialized while the nodes are being deleted when executing the 
closeSession Txn. The pzxid will not be updated in the snapshot when replaying 
the closeSession txn, because doesn't know what's the paths being deleted, so 
it won't patch the pzxid like what we did in the deleteNode ZOOKEEPER-3125.
 
The inconsistent pzxid will lead to potential watch notification missing when 
client reconnect with setWatches because of the staleness. 
 
This JIRA is going to fix those issues by adding the CloseSessionTxn, it will 
record all those nodes being deleted in that CloseSession txn, so that we know 
which nodes to update when replaying the txn.
