Definitely checkout the 4letter words then (wch*). Keep in mind getting this data may be expensive (if there's alot of it) and that watches are locak, so servers only know about the watches from sessions est through it (server 1 doesn't know about watches of sessions connected on server 2, 3, etc..

Hi Qian Ye, yes you should open a JIRA for this. If you want to work on a patch we could advise you. One thing not clear to me, are you interested in just the watches set by the particular client, or all watches set by all clients? The first should be relatively easy to get, the second would be mor

All servers keep a copy - so you can shutdown the zk service entirely (all servers) and restart it and the sessions are maintained. Patrick On 08/16/2010 06:34 PM, Qian Ye wrote: Thx Mahadev and Benjamin, it seems that I've got some misunderstanding about the client. I will check it out. Anot

the client does keep track of the watches that it has outstanding. when it reconnects to a new server it tells the server what it is watching for and the last view of the system that it had. ben On 08/16/2010 09:28 AM, Qian Ye wrote: thx for explaination. Since the watcher can be preserved wh

Hi Qian, The watcher information is saved at the client, and the client will reattach the watches to the new server it connects to. Hope that helps. Thanks mahadev On 8/16/10 9:28 AM, "Qian Ye" wrote: > thx for explaination. Since the watcher can be preserved when the client > switch the zo

thx for explaination. Since the watcher can be preserved when the client switch the zookeeper server it connects to, does that means all the watchers information will be saved on all the zookeeper servers? I didn't find any source of the client can hold the watchers information. On Tue, Aug 17, 2

I should correct this. The watchers will deliver a session expiration event, but since the connection is closed at that point no further events will be delivered and the cluster will remove them. This is as good as the watchers disappearing. On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 9:20 AM, Ted Dunning wrote:

There are two different concepts. One is connection loss. Watchers survive this and the client automatically connects to another member of the ZK cluster. The other is session expiration. Watchers do not survive this. This happens when a client does not provide timely evidence that it is alive
