when you shutdown the full ensemble the session isn't expired. when things come back up your session will still be active. (it would be bad if the zk service could not survive the bounce of an ensembel.)
you are way over thinking this and i fear you are not helping yourself with trying to second guess with timers. zookeeper is structured such it can be used as ground truth. trying to second guess will only bring you headache. ben ________________________________________ From: burtona...@gmail.com [burtona...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Burton [bur...@spinn3r.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 3:36 PM To: zookeeper-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Re: Simpler ZooKeeper event interface.... > > > Here's a good reason for each client to know it's session status > (connected/disconnected/expired).

I'm considering implementing my own session expiration by tracking how long I've been disconnected.
