>             Project: ZooKeeper
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: c client
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.3

> Reading through the source, the C API implements zoo_async() which is the zookeeper sync() method implemented in the multithreaded/asynchronous C API.  It doesn't implement anything equivalent in the non-multithreaded API.
> I'm not sure if this was oversight or intentional, but it means that the non-multithreaded API can't guarantee consistent client views on critical reads.
> The zkperl bindings depend on the synchronous, non-multithreaded API so also can't call sync() currently.
