Hello, We are attempting to use ZooKeeper to coordinate daily email thresholds. To do this we created a node hierarchy of
/root/template/date/email_hash The idea being that we only send the template to an email address once per day. This is intended to support millions of email hashes per day. From the ZooKeeper perspective we just attempt a create and if it succeeds we proceed and if we get a node exists exception we stop processing. This seems to operate fine for over 2 million email hashes so far in testing. However we also want to prune all previous days nodes to conserve memory. We have run into a hard limit while using the getChildren method for a given /root/template/date. If the List of children exceeds the hardcoded 4,194,304 byte limit ClientCnxn$SendThread.readLength() throws an exception on line 490. So we have an issue that we can not delete a node that has children nor is it possible to delete a node who has children whose total names exceed 4 Mb. Any feedback or guidance is appreciated.
