Hi Mohammad, A delete operation only needs to reach a quorum to complete and A B form a quorum in your 3-server ensemble. If the delete operation never gets propagated to C and other write operations that have been ordered later complete on C, then you have an issue. If C simply stops receiving updates, then you have a problem with your C server and it could be a problem with ZK or just the environment.
If there has been write operations ordered after the delete and server C has seen those but not the delete, then I'd recommend that you have a look the txn logs with the log formatter. > shall I check exists from leader only? but even leader can have some node > undeleted in the above scenario There is no such a requirement, but you need to be aware that server C could definitely make an update visible later compared to other servers. ZooKeeper doesn't guarantee that updates are visible to all clients as soon as they are acknowledged. I'd also search for jiras, especially if you're deleting an ephemeral. -Flavio > On 21 Jan 2016, at 13:24, Mohammad arshad <mohammad.ars...@huawei.com> wrote: > > Hi All, > I came across a scenario where zookeeper was left in inconsistent state(but > that is valid as per the zookeeper theory) and because of that dependent > application's behaved wrongly > The scenario is as follow > > 1) I have three server Zookeeper cluster, let's say servers are A, B and C.
