Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-1412:
-----------------------------------------
Hi César, I just tried reproducing using the java cli (zk shell) client and was
unable (iirc I was able to reproduce previously) using the latest on branch-3.4
(includes this fix).
started client against a follower (3 server ensemble)
WatchedEvent state:SyncConnected type:None path:null
[zk: (CONNECTED) 0] ls /foo 1
killed the server
WatchedEvent state:Disconnected type:None path:null
restarted the server
WatchedEvent state:SyncConnected type:None path:null
that was it
I then started a second client and deleted /foo, which caused
WatchedEvent state:SyncConnected type:NodeDeleted path:/foo
so afaict it looks right to me.
If you still see issues please open a separate jira. A test that reproduces
this would also be useful.

> I've observed an inconsistent behavior in java client watches. The
> inconsistency relates to the behavior after the client reconnects to the
> zookeeper ensemble.
> After the client reconnects to the ensemble only those watches should trigger
> which should have been triggered also if the connections was not lost. This
> means if I watch for changes in node /foo and there is no change there than
> my watch should not be triggered on reconnecting to the ensemble.
> This is not always the case in the java client.
> I've debugged the issues and I could locate the case when the watch is always
> triggered on reconnect. This is consistently happening if I connect to a
> follower in the ensemble and I don't do any operation which goes through the
> leader.
> Looking at the code I see that the client stores the lastzxid and sends that
> with its request. This is 0 on startup and will be updated everytime from the
> server replies. This lastzxid is also sent to the server after reconnect
> together with watches. The server decides which watch to trigger based on
> this lastzxid probably because that should mean the last known state of the
> client. If this lastzxid is 0 than all the watches are triggered.
> I've checked why is this lastzxid 0. I thought it shouldn't be since there
> was already a request to the server to set the watch and in the reply the
> server could have sent back the zxid but it turns out that it sends just 0.
> Looking at the server code I see that for requests which doesn't go through
> the leader the follower server just sends back the same zxid that the client
> sent.
