             Summary: Zookeeper lock recipe doesn't parse negative sequence 
numbers correctly
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-4372
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-4372
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: recipes
            Reporter: Colin McIntosh


According to the Zookeeper docs ZNode sequence numbers will rollover to 
-2147483648 after reaching 2147483647 (I've also confirmed this is the case in 
practice):

[https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.7.0/zookeeperProgrammers.html#Sequence+Nodes+–+Unique+Naming|https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.7.0/zookeeperProgrammers.html#Sequence+Nodes+%E2%80%93+Unique+Naming]

 

When this rollover happens the negative symbol is incorrectly stripped off the 
sequence number in ZNodeName due to this code searching for the last index of 
"-", thus the sequence number parsed is always the absolute value:
[https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/1e74a3395a9c3c4d67093f9a073bffb5a176916c/zookeeper-recipes/zookeeper-recipes-lock/src/main/java/org/apache/zookeeper/recipes/lock/ZNodeName.java#L54]

 

This results in any subsequently created sequence numbers being considered the 
"lowest" due to the absolute value decrementing until reaching 0. It also looks 
like there is no test to check parsing of negative sequence numbers.

 

For context, this same issue arose in the unofficial Golang client recipe and 
there is a proposed fix there: [https://github.com/go-zookeeper/zk/pull/65]
