I have tried writing a test program which launches two programs in the same manor, each makes a connection then loops over barriers with a Thread.sleep(random) in-between. This run indefinitely and everything works out fine.
I have also tried writing my own barrier, which uses a SharedCount, where each guy tries to increment it until it hits a memberQty. This too missed watch events and does not work properly. It’s almost as if something else that I’ve done during the running of my program has broken zookeepers watch events somehow. Is there any good way to debug watch events in general? I’ve tried to look at the DEBUG output for my zookeeper server log, but it looks the same for the working vs non-working barriers... _B On Mar 25, 2014, at 3:42 PM, Jordan Zimmerman <[email protected]> wrote: > Unfortunately, the barrier recipes aren’t widely used (from what I know).
