I'm afraid the docs are wrong, it's being fixed in 3.3.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-681
set the value to 0 if you want unlimited. Patrick Michael Bauland wrote:
Hi, I've got another question regarding the connection limit. I sometimes get the following warning in my zookeeper log file: 15:33:46,351 - WARN [NIOServerCxn.Factory:2181:nioservercnxn$fact...@226] - Too many connections from /A.B.C.D - max is 10 However, I don't have maxClientCnxns defined in my zoo.cfg file and according to the documentation, omitting this should mean that the connections are unlimited: "maxClientCnxns [...] Setting this to 0 or omitting it entirely removes the limit on concurrent connections." Apart from this I'm still wondering why I've got more than 10 connections open at the same time, since I'm just working with 5-6 processes running in parallel and opening only one connection at a time. I'll need to investigate this a bit further. Any help on the warning and the maxClientCnxns parameter is appreciated. Cheers, Michael
