When and why does Curator throw ConnectionLossException?

问题

I use Curator 1.2.4 and I keep getting ConnectionLossException when I want to monitor one znode for its children's changes.

I then implemented a watcher like this

public class CuratorChildWatcherImpl implements CuratorWatcher {

    private CuratorFramework client;

    public CuratorChildWatcherImpl(CuratorFramework client) {
        this.client = client;
    }

    @Override
    public void process(WatchedEvent event) throws Exception {
       List<String> children=client.getChildren().usingWatcher(this).forPath(event.getPath());
       // Do other stuff with the children znode.
    }
}

Every 11 seconds the code throws ConnectionLossException if connectionTimeout is set to 10 seconds. It seems the exception is connectionTimeout plus 1 second. Why?

I checked the source code found that GetChildrenBuilderImpl will call the CuratorZookeeperClient's blockUntilConnectedOrTimeout method which will check the connection state every 1 second.

This was a known bug in the Curator/ZooKeeper interaction that's tracked under CURATOR-24 The current method of managing hung ZK handles needs improvement. It was fixed in 2.0.1-incubating version.
