Why would you want the session to expire if all the servers are down (which
should not happen unless you kill all the nodes or the datacenter is down) ?

A more likely case is that the client port on the switch dies and the client is partitioned from the servers...

The ZK ensemble leader expires the client session if it doesn't hear from

A client will disconnect from a server in the ensemble and attempt
reconnect to another server in the ensemble if it doesn't hear from the
server w/in 2/3 of the specified session timeout.

OK... I got that part.  The issue I'm running into now though is that my
sessions aren't actually timing out when I shutdown all servers in an
ensemble.

One solution/hack would be to record how long you've been disconnected and
assume that your session has been expired.
