Thanks! So it looks to me like for the Java client at least, this bit of code
reliably expires the session
final ZooKeeper dupZookeeper =
new ZooKeeper(connection.getServers(),
curZookeeper.getSessionTimeout(), watcher,
curZookeeper.getSessionId(), curZookeeper.getSessionPasswd());
// wait until connected, then close
while (dupZookeeper.getState() != States.CONNECTED) {
Thread.sleep(10);
}
Assert.assertEquals(dupZookeeper.getState(), States.CONNECTED, "Fail to
connect to zk using current session info");
dupZookeeper.close();
But the equivalent in the C# client doesn't (reliably at least),
// This forces the session to be closed
var watcher = new ConnectionWatcher();
using (
var zoo =
new ZooKeeper(
Config.GetNameValueSettings("MemoryCube/HighAvailability")
.GetOptionalSetting("ZookeeperServers"),
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
watcher,
connToExpire.SessionId,
connToExpire.SesionPassword))
{
watcher.WaitForConnection(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20));
} // Disconnects here.
so either there's something subtle I don't understand, or the C# client doesn't
handle this case. It seems excellent elsewhere, so it's more likely to be the
first!
Thanks,
Ben

Subject: Re: Is there an easy way to expire a session for testing?
We have a test case in Helix to simulate session expiry in Helix that might be
of help. It follows the similar mechanism of creating another session using the
same session id and password and diconnecting from zookeeper.
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=helix.git;a=blob;f=helix-core/src/test/java/org/apache/helix/ZkTestHelper.java;h=7aa235177904c2c71a730146f70ff547ea41e645;hb=2981d6aa8ac4c4d6f24d946cc41ff0edd822ad6f
There are two more ways to simulate session expiry
1. Use iptables and block the connection from local host to all zookeeper
servers. This might not work if zookeeper is running locally or atleast we
havent figure out how to block iptables if the process is local. After 30
seconds or what ever you have configured as session timeout, unblock the
connection and you should get session expiry event.
2. Use kill -STOP pid, this will freeze the process and hence no heart beat
will be sent to ZK. After 30 seconds unfreeze the process and you should get
session expiry events.
