failure to close client

                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-473
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-473
             Project: Zookeeper
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tests
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Patrick Hunt
            Assignee: Patrick Hunt
             Fix For: 3.3.0


The junit tests will occasionally fail on hudson due to a few problems:

1) socket in use - sometimes the code/testcode will fail to close a socket, 
either that or tcp wait
 kicks in and the kernel holds onto the socket, either way subsequent tests 
that use this same
port will fail

2) sometimes the tests fail to close clients, this results in clients 
attempting to re-connect to
the server started as part of a subsequent test (the timeout is very long). 
this causes a few
problems, typically extra load on the server or more likely unusual changes to 
the server that the
next test(s) don't expect. also causes problems when trying to debug the test 
as the old clients
spew messages into the log.

we see this on hudson, occasionally failures. We also saw this when working on 
ZOOKEEPER-397, the testng
port. testng does not support "fork mode" for running the tests. as a result 
all the tests (all) run in a single
vm instance, start to finish. so this problem is exacerbated significantly in 
that case. this patch only
fixes the problem in junit btw, it does not move to testng
