Sam Baskinger commented on ZOOKEEPER-767:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback Benjamin,
Perhaps I misread the recipe or am missing the philosophy of ZK's atomicity. It
wouldn't be the first time. :) To your points:
We do the create to ensure that we, at some point, will hold a lock. I do want
to do the create, ensuring my turn, and then wait until I'm at the front of the
line (front being defined in the exclusive or shared way).
There should be a unit test that ensure that this does indeed happen,
semantically. Exclusive locks block all shared access, if I take your meaning
correctly.
I thought the API guaranteed that in the event of a connection loss the
EPHEMERAL creation property would guarantee that when the session timed out the
file would be removed and watchers would be signaled.
All but those behind me in the line of locks. This could certainly be optimized
and is something I thought about, but moved past to get the rough
implementation in flight.
If the above 4 points hold, then extending the other implementation may be
better for the community. :) I hope you'll include the code, but if not, we're
very happy with it and appreciate ZooKeeper! Keep up the fine work. :)
What do you think? What did I miss? :)
