If it's helpful I have code to reproduce this on an in-process cluster running
3.4.11 or 3.5.3-beta.

[~cthunes], Test code surely be helpful in understanding this issue. Please
share the test code, if you already have, which can reproduce this issue.
> Expired session may unexpired after leader failover
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2985
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2985
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.5.3, 3.4.11
> Reporter: Chris Thunes
> Priority: Major
>
> We recently observed an inconsistency in our Kafka cluster which we tracked
> down to ZooKeeper sessions expiring and then re-appearing after a ZooKeeper
> leadership failover. The Kafka nodes received session "Expired" events,
> leading to them starting new sessions and attempting to re-create some
> ephemeral nodes (broker ID nodes in kafka/brokers/ids specifically). However,
> between receiving the session Expired event and establishing a new session a
> leadership failover occurred within the ZooKeeper cluster which resulted in
> the expired session re-appearing. When Kafka attempted to re-create the
> ephemeral nodes mentioned above it (unexpectedly) received NODEEXISTS errors.
> This behavior is a result of how session expiration is handled by the leader.
> Specifically, the expired session is marked as "closing" immediately upon
> expiration (in SessionTrackerImpl) and _before_ the corresponding
> "closeSession" entry is committed. A client can therefore receive a session
> Expired event before its session is fully closed. A leadership failover which
> results in the loss of the (uncommitted) closeSession entry thus leads to the
> sessions' ephemeral nodes "re-appearing" until another expiration of the old
> session on the new leader takes place.
> I'm not certain if this should be considered a bug or an edge case that
> client are expected to handle. If it is the latter then I think it would be
> good to include this in the Programmer's Guide in the documentation.
> If it's helpful I have code to reproduce this on an in-process cluster
> running 3.4.11 or 3.5.3-beta.
