> After HBASE-5549, SESSIONEXPIRED exception was caught and retried with other zookeeper exceptions like ConnectionLoss. But it is useless to retry when a session expired happens, since the retry will never be successful. Though there is a config called "zookeeper.recovery.retry" to control retry times, in our cases, we set this config to a very big number like "99999". When a session expired happens, the regionserver should kill itself, but because of the retrying, threads of regionserver stuck at trying to reconnect to zookeeper, and never properly shut down.
