> h4. The Problem
> A ZooKeeper Watch can be placed on a single znode and when the znode changes 
> a Watch event is sent to the client. If there are thousands of znodes being 
> watched, when a client (re)connect, it would have to send thousands of watch 
> requests. At Facebook, we have this problem storing information for thousands 
> of db shards. Consequently a naming service that consumes the db shard 
> definition issues thousands of watch requests each time the service starts 
> and changes client watcher.
> h4. Proposed Solution
> We add the notion of a Persistent Recursive Watch in ZooKeeper. Persistent 
> means no Watch reset is necessary after a watch-fire. Recursive means the 
> Watch applies to the node and descendant nodes. A Persistent Recursive Watch 
> behaves as follows:
> # Recursive Watch supports all Watch semantics: CHILDREN, DATA, and EXISTS.
> # CHILDREN and DATA Recursive Watches can be placed on any znode.
> # EXISTS Recursive Watches can be placed on any path.
> # A Recursive Watch behaves like a auto-watch registrar on the server side. 
> Setting a  Recursive Watch means to set watches on all descendant znodes.
> # When a watch on a descendant fires, no subsequent event is fired until a 
> corresponding getData(..) on the znode is called, then Recursive Watch 
> automically apply the watch on the znode. This maintains the existing Watch 
> semantic on an individual znode.
> # A Recursive Watch overrides any watches placed on a descendant znode. 
> Practically this means the Recursive Watch Watcher callback is the one 
> receiving the event and event is delivered exactly once.
> A goal here is to reduce the number of semantic changes. The guarantee of no 
> intermediate watch event until data is read will be maintained. The only 
> difference is we will automatically re-add the watch after read. At the same 
> time we add the convience of reducing the need to add multiple watches for 
> sibling znodes and in turn reduce the number of watch messages sent from the 
> client to the server.
> There are some implementation details that needs to be hashed out. Initial 
> thinking is to have the Recursive Watch create per-node watches. This will 
> cause a lot of watches to be created on the server side. Currently, each 
> watch is stored as a single bit in a bit set relative to a session - up to 3 
> bits per client per znode. If there are 100m znodes with 100k clients, each 
> watching all nodes, then this strategy will consume approximately 3.75TB of 
> ram distributed across all Observers. Seems expensive.
> Alternatively, a blacklist of paths to not send Watches regardless of Watch 
> setting can be set each time a watch event from a Recursive Watch is fired. 
> The memory utilization is relative to the number of outstanding reads and at 
> worst case it's 1/3 * 3.75TB using the parameters given above.
> Otherwise, a relaxation of no intermediate watch event until read guarantee 
> is required. If the server can send watch events regardless of one has 
> already been fired without corresponding read, then the server can simply 
> fire watch events without tracking.
