Rakesh R commented on ZOOKEEPER-1100: ------------------------------------- Hi Gunnar, In case of OutOfMemoryError also: ZKClient will get the notification of 'Disconnected' event, here the other threads which are interacting with the ZooKeeper can listen for this event before any datatransfer. So the client applications can be able to gracefully handle the scenario of interacting threads. IMO, if required we can introduce 'timed reconnect' only for new clients, but it makes the client code more complex. > Killed (or missing) SendThread will cause hanging threads > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1100 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1100 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java client > Affects Versions: 3.3.3 > Environment: > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/zookeeper-user/201106.mbox/%3Citpgb6$2mi$1...@dough.gmane.org%3E > Reporter: Gunnar Wagenknecht > Assignee: Rakesh R > Fix For: 3.5.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1100.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1100.patch > > > After investigating an issues with [hanging > threads|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/zookeeper-user/201106.mbox/%3Citpgb6$2mi$1...@dough.gmane.org%3E] > I noticed that any java.lang.Error might silently kill the SendThread. > Without a SendThread any thread that wants to send something will hang > forever. > Currently nobody will recognize a SendThread that died.
