> Per mailing list discussion:
> <quote>
> the client only finds out about session expiration events when the client reconnects to the cluster. if zk tells a client that its session is expired, the ephemerals that correspond to that session will already be cleaned up.
> - deletion of an ephemeral file due to loss of client connection will occur
> after the client gets a connection loss
> - deletion of an ephemeral file will precede delivery of a session
> expiration event to the owner
> </quote>
> So session expirations means two things here : server view(ephemeral clean up) & client view(event delivery) , there are
> no guarantee how long it will take in between, correct?
> I guess the confusion rises from the documention which doesn't distinguish these two concepts, e.g. in the javadoc http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.3.1/api/index.html
> An ephemeral node will be removed by the ZooKeeper automatically when the session associated with the creation of the node expires.
> It is actually refering to the server view not the client view.
