Hi, all:
    
I'm in charge of a zookeeper cluster including six nodes. It worked well for the last six months,
but yesterday when I want to list the children of a specific path "/dp/monitor_root/child/CDSkafkaSensor/msg",
something is just wrong. Here is the dump info as shown below:

[zk: zk-6:2181(CONNECTED) 1] ls /dp/monitor_root/child/CDSkafkaSensor/msg

I have tried many ways to solve this problem, but none of those works,  even the "super user" method.
Now neither can Ｉ list the node, nor can I delete it . So I really really need a help. Thank you!

I'll bet that you have a ZNode that has too many children and your jute buffer is maxed out. The default maximum for zookeeper api calls is 1MB. You can easily surpass this with large ZNodes (10K plus children).

Thanks a lot, Jordan.  
Is there a config parameter to control the children number?
Besides, how can I fix the situation now? I can't list the node,
even worse,  I can not delete it neither. There is a dead-branch
in the whole node-tree, I just want to find a way to clean it up,
any advise?

Hi Yang Li, this is likely a straightforward issue - the ZK client
limits the size of the response that it will accept. By default this
is around 4mb. Notice the error message:

"Packet len 5362775 is out of range"

basically what's happening is that your getChildren call is returning
a huge packet size - likely you have a large number of children under
"/dp/monitor_root/child/CDSkafkaSensor/msg".

See this thread for a solution.

Using 6 nodes for ZK is a bit odd.  Actually, it is a bit even.

If all of the nodes are involved in the quorum, you will get lower write
throughput than with 5 nodes and slightly higher chance of failure since it
is more likely to get 3/6 node failures versus 3/5 failures.

What motivated your choice of 6 nodes?

Thank you for your advicse, Ted.
Actually, the sixth node is set to "observer mode",
we just put it there to stand by.
