if this mechanism were used very often, we would get a huge number of
session expirations when a server fails. you are trading fast error
detection for the ability to tolerate temporary network and server outages.
to be honest this seems like something that in theory sounds like it
will work in practice, but once deployed we start getting session
expirations for cases that we really do not want or expect.

Ben, in this case the session would be tied directly to the connection,
we'd explicitly deny session re-establishment for this session type (so
4 would fail). Would that address your concern, others?

i'm a bit skeptical that this is going to work out properly. a server
may receive a socket reset even though the client is still alive:
1) client sends a request to a server
2) client is partitioned from the server
3) server starts trying to send response
4) client reconnects to a different server
5) partition heals
6) server gets a reset from client
at step 6 i don't think you want to delete the ephemeral nodes.

Yes that's right. Which network issues can cause the socket to close
without the initiating process closing the socket? In my limited
experience in this area network issues were more prone to leave dead
sockets open rather than vice versa so I don't know what to look out for.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: closing session on socket close vs waiting for timeout
I think he's saying that if the socket closes because of a crash (i.e.
not a
normal zookeeper close request) then the session stays alive until the
session timeout, which is of course true since ZK allows reconnection and
resumption of the session in case of disconnect due to network issues.

That doesn't sound right to me.
Is there a Zookeeper expert in the house?

I foolishly did not investigate the ZK code closely enough and it seems
