Camille Fournier commented on ZOOKEEPER-922:
--------------------------------------------
If the client connects to another server within whatever the time they set the
minSessionTimeout to, the client should heartbeat the session and it shouldn't
get timed out. Otherwise, their session will be expired and they'll get the
standard expired session scenario.
If you are working in a setup where you think that unexpected disconnects will
largely be due to clients crashing and you want ephemeral data aggressively
removed in that scenario, with this design you set the minSessionTimeout to a
low value and allow the ZK to quickly timeout those sessions. If you are
working in a setup where unexpected disconnects are more likely to be due to
network problems, or you want to give data a longer time to survive, you have
the option of setting the timeout to a higher value (ideally the same as the
negotiated session timeout, but that might require a code change to match
negotiation), which should give the same behavior as now.

> In the case when a client connection is closed due to socket error instead of
> the client calling close explicitly, it would be nice to enable the session
> associated with that client to time out faster than the negotiated session
> timeout. This would enable a zookeeper ensemble that is acting as a dynamic
> discovery provider to remove ephemeral nodes for crashed clients quickly,
> while allowing for a longer heartbeat-based timeout for java clients that
> need to do long stop-the-world GC.
> I propose doing this by setting the timeout associated with the crashed
> session to "minSessionTimeout".
