Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-856:
----------------------------------------
Have you monitored the jvms for gc activity? Are you using CMS/incremental gc
rather than the default GC setup? I'm all for adding balancing, but it would be
good to rule GC/swap/IO out as an issue.

> Project: Zookeeper
> Issue Type: Bug

> Fix For: 3.4.0

> We've experienced a number of issues lately where "ruok" requests would take
> upwards of 10 seconds to return, and ZooKeeper instances were extremely
> sluggish. The sluggish instance requires a restart to make it responsive
> again.
> I believe the issue is connections are very imbalanced, leading to certain
> instances having many thousands of connections, while other instances are
> largely idle.
> A potential solution is periodically disconnecting/reconnecting to balance
> connections over time; this seems fine because sessions should not be
> affected, and therefore ephemaral nodes and watches should not be affected.
