> This is a regression introduced by ZOOKEEPER-965 (multi transactions). The 
> catch(Exception e) block in PrepRequestProcessor.pRequest contains an if 
> block with condition request.getHdr() != null. This condition will always 
> evaluate to false since the changes in ZOOKEEPER-965.
> This is caused by a change in sequence: Before ZK-965, the txnHeader was set 
> _before_ the deserialization of the request. Afterwards the deserialization 
> happens before request.setHdr is set. So the following RequestProcessors 
> won't see the request as a failed one but as a Read request, since it doesn't 
> have a hdr set.
> Notes:
> - it is very bad practice to catch Exception. The block should rather catch 
> IOException
> - The check whether the TxnHeader is set in the request is used at several 
> places to see whether the request is a read or write request. It isn't 
> obvious for a newby, what it means whether a request has a hdr set or not.
> - at the beginning of pRequest the hdr and txn of request are set to null. 
> However there is no chance that these fields could ever not be null at this 
> point. The code however suggests that this could be the case. There should 
> rather be an assertion that confirms that these fields are indeed null. The 
> practice of doing things "just in case", even if there is no chance that this 
> case could happen, is a very stinky code smell and means that the code isn't 
> understandable or trustworthy.
> - The multi transaction switch case block in pRequest is very hard to read, 
> because it missuses the request.{hdr|txn} fields as local variables.
