Why my session does not expire in this situation?

[Ride Shoot Speak <ri...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I tried to provoke an expired session by connecting a simple C client to a
standalone ZooKeeper. I stopped the ZooKeeper and then just waited some time
(longer than the session timeout). The client switched from CONNECTED to
CONNECTING and stayed there. So far so good. Then I started the ZooKeeper
again. The client changed to CONNECTED again. Well, I expected it to get an
EXPIRED_SESSION because the time it was disconnected was definitely longer
than the session timeout value. Am I wrong here?

regards
Jan

yeah, that will not work. when you restart zookeeper, it resets the 
timeouts. to provoke a session expiration you should reopen the session 
with a different zhandle and immediately close it.
