Github user joshelser commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/242 > The active monitor registers itself as the log receiver in ZK > its expecting a standby monitor Reminder: there are two advertisements for the monitor in ZooKeeper. One is the HTTP address and the other is the log-forwarding address. The former is what users can access to get the hostname to put in their browser, the latter is how the TabletServers know where to send their log messages (that match the configured level). The test is verifying that the HTTP address is being advertised and the HTTP server is listening for requests before the ZK lock is acquired. I wouldn't know why this functionality has changed. It is a bug if it has without justification (as it will break things downstream...).
