Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-2503:
-----------------------------------------
bq. shouldn't really need to limit myid to 255
Given most users will have 3/5/7 servers, and certainly never approaching 256,
perhaps we should just enforce the 0-255 limitation explicitly and make sure
it's well documented. That seems like it would be the most user friendly in
terms of understanding/implementing? We can also add the check that Dan
mentioned above.

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2503
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2503
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: server
> Affects Versions: 3.4.9, 3.5.2
> Reporter: Michael Han
> Fix For: 3.5.3, 3.4.10
>
>
> In ZK documentation, we have:
> "The myid file consists of a single line containing only the text of that
> machine's id. So myid of server 1 would contain the text "1" and nothing
> else. The id must be unique within the ensemble and should have a value
> between 1 and 255."
> This however is not enforced in code, which should be fixed either in
> documentation that we remove the restriction of the range 1-255 or in code we
> enforce such constraint.
> Discussion thread:
