Ok. So the only difference between a network partition failure and a zookeeper server cluster bounce that I can see from the client side is that in former case the ConnectionLossException happens on a ZooKeeper client where the state is CONNECTED and in the later it's CONNECTING. Is this a reliable means of determining I should recreate the client state from scratch?

The server just decides to sever the connection and the client just keeps retrying (hence the counting up on the ephemeral ports). I could deal with this in the application if I could tell why the server decided to close the connection. Is there a way for me to do this? Thanks Jim -----Original Message----- From: Carroll James (Nokia-LC/Malvern) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 1:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Unrecoverable ConnectionLossException after server restart I'm seeing (what I think) is incorrect behavior from ZooKeeper. When I start a client, connect to a server, and then restart the server, the client (I thought) was supposed to eventually reconnect. It doesn't. It continually throws a ConnectionLossException on every use, the ZooKeeper client isAlive is true, I never get a SESSION_EXPIRATION, and I can see the client side ephemeral ports listed in the error message counting up as if it's continually attempting to reconnect. If I recreate the ZooKeeper client, the new client connects and I can use it. So I could simply react as if I got a SESSION_EXPIRATION exception and rebuild the client state, except the a ConnectionLossException is something I ALSO get when I get a network partition. When I periodically recreate the entire client from scratch in response to a ConnectionLossException I eventually run out of file descriptors and my entire process is hosed. This seems to be related to the use of nio and the repeated opening of pipes and anon_inodes (which show up in an lsof). Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?
