Eric Newton created ACCUMULO-2757:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: zookeeper watches
                 Key: ACCUMULO-2757
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2757
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client, master, tserver
         Environment: very large clusters
            Reporter: Eric Newton


I recently learned how to get the number of watches in a zookeeper node.

{noformat}
$ echo wchp | nc localhost 2181
{noformat}

There are a surprising number of watches supporting table configuration.  A single tserver accumulo instance with one data table is using 872 watches.  Large clusters, even with many zookeepers, can have millions of watches.

We may need to watch a single notification node, or serialize the table configs into a single node per table.  That would accomplish ACCUMULO-1568, too.
