Raul Gutierrez Segales commented on ZOOKEEPER-2217:
---------------------------------------------------

getChildren (and getData, etc) do get the data & set their watches atomically, 
so how would inverting the order change anything?

The only way of getting _every_ intermediate state would be by tailing the 
transaction logs, but at that point maybe ZooKeeper is not the right tool for 
the job. 

> event might lost before re-watch

>             Project: ZooKeeper
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: c client, java client
>    Affects Versions: 3.4.5, 3.4.6
>         Environment: jdk1.7_45 on centos6.5 and ubuntu14.4 
>            Reporter: Caspian

> I use zk to  monitor the children nodes under a path, eg: /servers. 
> when the client is told that children changes,  I have to re-watch the path 
> again, during the peroid, it's possible that some children down, or some up. 
> And those events will be missed.
> For now, my temporary solution is not to use getChildren(path, true...) to 
> get children and re-watch this path, but re-watch this path first, then get 
> the children. Thus non events can be ignored, but I don't know what will the 
> zk server be like if there are too much clients that act like this.
> How do you think of this problem? Is there any other solutions?
