Zili Chen commented on ZOOKEEPER-3566:
--------------------------------------

TBH I think it requires we evolve {{WatcherEvent}} which is the actual message on wire but jute doesn't works well on schema evolution.

> The zxid that triggered a watch should be sent to the watch because it's useful for ordering events.
>  
> Use case:
> I'm watching a znode and syncing its contents (and whether it has been deleted) to a third system. Without zxid attached to events it makes it very difficult to maintain the order of events as they happened in ZK.
>  
> For example if I modify node `/a/b/c` and then delete it soon after, we have two watch events, but no reliable way to communicate to our third system that the modification happened before the deletion. If we are given the zxid we can use that to order events.
>  
> Suggested implementation:
> Change `IWatchManager#triggerWatch` to take another parameter `Long zxid`. Callers pass the zxid of the event.
> Add member `Long zxid` to `WatchedEvent`
