Yuri Tceretian updated CURATOR-504:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
We use LeaderLatch in a lot of places in our system and when ZooKeeper ensemble 
is unstable and clients are reconnecting to logs are full of messages like the 
following:

{{
 [2017-08-31 
19:18:34,562][ERROR][org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.leader.LeaderLatch] 
Can't find our node. Resetting. Index: -1 {}
}}

According to the 
[implementation|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4251fe328908e5fca37af034fabc190aa452c73f/curator-recipes/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/recipes/leader/LeaderLatch.java#L529-L536],
 this can happen in two cases:
 * When internal state `ourPath` is null
 * When the list of latches does not have the expected one.

I believe we hit the first condition because of races that occur after client 
reconnects to ZooKeeper.
 * Client reconnects to ZooKeeper and LeaderLatch gets the event and calls 
reset method which set the internal state (`ourPath`) to null, removes old 
latch and creates a new one. This happens in thread 
"Curator-ConnectionStateManager-0".
 * Almost simultaneously, LeaderLatch gets another even NodeDeleted 
([here|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4251fe328908e5fca37af034fabc190aa452c73f/curator-recipes/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/recipes/leader/LeaderLatch.java#L543-L554])
 and tries to re-read the list of latches and check leadership. This happens in 
the thread "main-EventThread".

Therefore, sometimes there is a situation when method `checkLeadership` is 
called when `ourPath` is null.

Below is an approximate diagram of what happens:
