If worker doesn't get update of B from zookeeper after 300 reconnection
retries, should we exit the worker or let worker continues to work?
```
Current approach is:
- if worker A get update of B from zk, it will abort the reconnection.
and worker A will still stay alive and working.
- if A doesn't get update from zk that B is dead, after timeout of 300
reconnection retries. then A will exit. In my opinion, there is no way to
recover but exit. because a) A belive it must have live connection to B because
application tell it that b) A cannot setup connection to B after exhausting
every effort.
