> There is a retry mechanism in RecoverableZooKeeper, but when the session expires, the whole ZooKeeperWatcher is recreated, hence the retry mechanism does not work in this case. This is why a sleep is needed in TestZooKeeper#testMasterSessionExpired: we need to wait for ZooKeeperWatcher to be recreated before using the connection.
> This can happen in real life, it can happen when:
> - master & zookeeper starts
> - zookeeper connection is cut
> - master enters the retry loop
> - in the meantime the session expires
> - the network comes back, the session is recreated
> - the retries continues, but on the wrong object, hence fails.
