Arshad Mohammad commented on ZOOKEEPER-2251:
--------------------------------------------
I think irrespective of the reason, why packet(server response) not received,
there should be some time-out. Can not keep waiting infinitely
{code}
synchronized (packet) {
while (!packet.finished) {
packet.wait();
}
}
{code}
Seems you have good system understanding. please share if you find the reason.
> Add Client side packet response timeout to avoid infinite wait.

> I came across one issue related to Client side packet response timeout In my
> cluster many packet drops happened for some time.
> One observation is the zookeeper client got hanged. As per the thread dump it
> is waiting for the response/ACK for the operation performed (synchronous API
> used here).
> I am using
> zookeeper.serverCnxnFactory=org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory
> Since only few packets missed there is no DISCONNECTED event occurred.
> Need add a "response time out" for the operations or packets.
> *Comments from [~rakeshr]*
> My observation about the problem:-
> * Can use tools like 'Wireshark' to simulate the artificial packet loss.
> * Assume there is only one packet in the 'outgoingQueue' and unfortunately
> the server response packet lost. Now, client will enter into infinite
> waiting.
> https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/trunk/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/ClientCnxn.java#L1515
> * Probably we can discuss more about this problem and possible solutions(add
> packet ACK timeout or another better approach) in the jira.
