Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-1387:
-------------------------------------
AFAIK the ZK bug was never reproduced in newer versions of ZK. I'm wondering if
at some point we can say that ZK 3.3 is no longer supported and remove the
work-around (which is creating few issues of its own).
> Kafka getting stuck creating ephemeral node it has already created when two
> zookeeper sessions are established in a very short period of time
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-1387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1387
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Fedor Korotkiy
>
> Kafka broker re-registers itself in zookeeper every time handleNewSession()
> callback is invoked.
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.1/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/KafkaHealthcheck.scala
>
> Now imagine the following sequence of events.
> 1) Zookeeper session reestablishes. handleNewSession() callback is queued by
> the zkClient, but not invoked yet.
> 2) Zookeeper session reestablishes again, queueing callback second time.
> 3) First callback is invoked, creating /broker/[id] ephemeral path.
> 4) Second callback is invoked and it tries to create /broker/[id] path using
> createEphemeralPathExpectConflictHandleZKBug() function. But the path is
> already exists, so createEphemeralPathExpectConflictHandleZKBug() is getting
> stuck in the infinite loop.
> Seems like controller election code have the same issue.
> I'am able to reproduce this issue on the 0.8.1 branch from github using the
> following configs.
> # zookeeper
> tickTime=10
> dataDir=/tmp/zk/
> clientPort=2101
> maxClientCnxns=0
> # kafka
> broker.id=1
> log.dir=/tmp/kafka
> zookeeper.connect=localhost:2101
> zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=100
> zookeeper.sessiontimeout.ms=100
> Just start kafka and zookeeper and then pause zookeeper several times using
> Ctrl-Z.
