Radu Marin commented on ZOOKEEPER-906:
--------------------------------------
C client will NOW sleep for a random period (0 - 1000ms) between consecutive
reconnect attempts.
I will also check all hosts no matter what index has the server that is
currently connected to.
The random delay is independent of session expiration timeout (previously it
was 1/3 of session expiration timeout) so increasing timeout will give the
client more attempts to reconnect on connection loss before session expires.
> Improve C client connection reliability by making it sleep between reconnect
> attempts as in Java Client

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-906
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-906
> Project: Zookeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: c client
> Affects Versions: 3.3.1
> Reporter: Radu Marin
> Attachments: ZOOKEEPER.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> Currently, when a C client get disconnected, it retries a couple of hosts
> (not all) with no delay between attempts and then if it doesn't succeed it
> sleeps for 1/3 session expiration timeout period before trying again.
> In the worst case the disconnect event can occur after 2/3 of session
> expiration timeout has past, and sleeping for even more 1/3 session timeout
> will cause a session loss in most of the times.
> A better approach is to check all hosts but with random delay between
> reconnect attempts. Also the delay must be independent of session timeout so
> if we increase the session timeout we also increase the number of available
> attempts.
> This improvement covers the case when the C client experiences network
> problems for a short period of time and is not able to reach any zookeeper
> hosts.
> Java client already uses this logic and works very good.
