             Summary: Zookeeper not receiving packets after ZXID overflows
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-2899
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2899
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: leaderElection
    Affects Versions: 3.4.5
         Environment: 5 host ensemble, 1500+ client connections each, 300K+ nodes
OS: Ubuntu precise
JAVA 7
JuniperQFX510048T NIC, 10000Mb/s, ixgbe driver
6 core Intel(R)_Xeon(R)_CPU_E5-2620_v3_@_2.40GHz
4 HDD 600G each 
            Reporter: Yicheng Fang


ZK was used with Kafka (version 0.10.0) for coordination. We had a lot of Kafka consumers writing  consumption offsets to ZK.

We observed the issue two times within the last year. Each time after ZXID overflowed, ZK was not receiving packets even though leader election looked successful from the logs, and ZK servers were up. As a result, the whole Kafka system came to a halt.

As an attempt to reproduce (and hopefully fixing) the issue, I set up test ZK and Kafka clusters and feed them with like-production test traffic. Though not really able to reproduce the issue, I did see that the Kafka consumers, which used ZK clients, essentially DOSed the ensemble, filling up the `submittedRequests` in `PrepRequestProcessor`, causing even 100ms+ read latencies.

More details are included in the comments.
