-----------------------------------
Also I add several debug log points so that if the issue remains, we can be
more clear how it happens.
> Race conditions in LeaderLatch after reconnecting to ensemble

> 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:
