[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-1233) race condition looking at zookeeper nodes

Eric Newton created ACCUMULO-1233:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: race condition looking at zookeeper nodes
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1233
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1233
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: master, tserver
            Reporter: Eric Newton
            Assignee: Eric Newton
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.5.0


There's a common pattern used with zookeeper:

{noformat}
for (String child : zk.getChildren(path)) {
   byte[] content = zk.getData(path + "/" + child, null, null);
   doSomething(content);
}
{noformat}

The problem is that between the getChildren() call and the getData() call, the child node has gone away.

We'll typically retry these operations, but it puts big scary messages in the logs.
