Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-1277: ----------------------------------------- Hi [~davelatham], it seems unlikely to me. Are you only running hbase against ZK? Because in that case the number of changes to zk are going to be <<<< than 4billion (the amount necessary to roll over the lower 32 bits), hbase just doesn't generate that much traffic. I've only seen the rollover case with 10k's of clients doing large numbers of operations per second. hbase just doesn't drive that much traffic - it's mainly for failover and table management. You might have hit an issue with 3.4 that was fixed in a subsequent release. However the symptoms you mentioned don't ring a bell either.... > servers stop serving when lower 32bits of zxid roll over > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1277 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1277 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.3.3 > Reporter: Patrick Hunt > Assignee: Patrick Hunt > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.3.5, 3.4.4, 3.5.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1277_br33.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1277_br33.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-1277_br33.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1277_br33.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-1277_br34.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1277_br34.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-1277_trunk.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1277_trunk.patch > > > When the lower 32bits of a zxid "roll over" (zxid is a 64 bit number, however > the upper 32 are considered the epoch number) the epoch number (upper 32 > bits) are incremented and the lower 32 start at 0 again. > This should work fine, however in the current 3.3 branch the followers see > this as a NEWLEADER message, which it's not, and effectively stop serving > clients.
