Hello all, 

This is perhaps a silly question, but one I'm not clear on.

Suppose you have two clients (R and W), and they are interacting through znode 
Z. Now consider the following situation:

0. Z at version 1
1. R begins getData(Z) (attach Watcher) 
2. W begins setData(Z)
3. W completed setData(Z) successfully --e.g. the client call returns with no 
errors
4. R completes getData(Z) successfully -- e.g. the client call returns with no 
errors

My questions are then:

1. What version of data will R receive? Version 1, or Version 2? My assumption 
here is that R would receive version 1 of the data--is that correct?

2. Does R's watch fire with the changes made by W? If so, is a WatchEvent 
delivered all the way to the caller? A comment made on ZOOKEEPER-1505 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1505) implies that it would 
not, but I'm unclear if that is in reference to the proposed changes or not.

Thanks for your help!
