large numbers of watches can cause session re-establishment to fail

                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-706
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-706
             Project: Zookeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: c client, java client
    Affects Versions: 3.2.2, 3.1.2, 3.3.0
            Reporter: Patrick Hunt
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.3.1


If a client sets a large number of watches the "set watches" operation during 
session re-establishment can fail.

for example:
 WARN  [NIOServerCxn.Factory:22801:nioserverc...@417] - Exception causing close 
of session 0xe727001201a4ee7c due to java.io.IOException: Len error 4348380

in this case the client was a web monitoring app and had set both data and 
child watches on > 32k znodes.

there are two issues I see here we need to fix:

1) handle this case properly (split up the set watches into multiple calls I 
guess...)
2) the session should have expired after the "timeout". however we seem to 
consider any message from the client as re-setting the expiration on the server 
side. Probably we should only consider messages from the client that are sent 
during an established session, otherwise we can see this situation where the 
session is not established however the session is not expired either. Perhaps 
we should create another JIRA for this particular issue.
