> Key: ZOOKEEPER-763
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-763
> Project: Zookeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c client, contrib-bindings
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Environment: ubuntu 10.04, zookeeper 3.3.0 and trunk
> Reporter: Kapil Thangavelu
> Assignee: Mahadev konar
> Fix For: 3.4.0
>
> Attachments: deadlock.py
>
>
> deadlocks occur if we attempt to close a handle while there are any
> outstanding async requests (aget, acreate, etc). Normally on close both the
> io thread terminates and the completion thread are terminated and joined,
> however w\ith outstanding async requests, the completion thread won't be in a
> joinable state, and we effectively hang when the main thread does the join.
> afaics ideal behavior would be on close of a handle, to effectively clear out
> any remaining callbacks and let the completion thread terminate.
> i've tried adding some bookkeeping to within a python client to guard against
> closing while there is an outstanding async completion request, but its an
> imperfect solution since even after the python callback is executed there is
> still a window for deadlock before the completion thread finishes the
> callback.
> a simple example to reproduce the deadlock is attached.
