Summary: Handle SessionTimeoutException in Java client
Key: ZOOKEEPER-4692
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-4692
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java client
Affects Versions: 3.8.1
Reporter: Giorgos Georgiou
The Java client sets a read timeout equal to 2/3 of the session timeout and
throws a SessionTimeoutException when this is hit.
[https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/89c1831f84891f425f1fa9224210587124f1c1ec/zookeeper-server/src/main/java/org/apache/zookeeper/ClientCnxn.java#L1236-L1243]
However, the effect of that exception is not treated the same was as a
SessionExpiredException which is propagated to the user and instead is treated
as a disconnect event instead.
This doesn't play very well with Curator which manages its own exception expiry
client side and starts its countdown on disconnect events, meaning that it will
consider the session lost a whole 2/3 of the session timeout after it actually
expired.
Should the SessionTimeoutException also be propagated to the users for handling
and potentially considering the session lost from their end?
