> I had a look at instances where we use SecureRandom, which could block if insufficient entropy, in the 0.98 and master branch code. (Random in contrast is a PRNG seeded by System#nanoTime, it doesn't draw from system entropy.) Most uses are in encryption related code, our native encryption and SSL, but we do also use SecureRandom for salting znode metadata in RecoverableZooKeeper#appendMetadata, which is called whenever we do setData. Conceivably we could block unexpectedly when constructing data to write out to a znode if entropy gets too low until more is available.
