stack commented on HBASE-5549:
------------------------------
@Himanshu Where is the issue which adds waiting on expire if its not being done
over in hbase-6354?
I backported this patch because it removed a test purportedly 'useless' that
was messing up a subsequent test. I also backported it to get the other
cleanups around zk interaction that this patch adds and to make it so there is
parity here from 0.92 through to trunk. If there is an issue w/ fix for wait
on expire, I can backport that too.
Suggest you look at Alex's countdown latch over in his watcher in the this
patch https://reviews.facebook.net/D4605 It does something like what you paste
above for the expiration monitor.

> There is a retry mechanism in RecoverableZooKeeper, but when the session
> expires, the whole ZooKeeperWatcher is recreated, hence the retry mechanism
> does not work in this case. This is why a sleep is needed in
> TestZooKeeper#testMasterSessionExpired: we need to wait for ZooKeeperWatcher
> to be recreated before using the connection.
> This can happen in real life, it can happen when:
> - master & zookeeper starts
> - zookeeper connection is cut
> - master enters the retry loop
> - in the meantime the session expires
> - the network comes back, the session is recreated
> - the retries continues, but on the wrong object, hence fails.
