Wild Bug in ZooKeeper
I read on twitter about a bug in ZooKeeper found by the folks at PagerDuty. The story is quite remarkable, and reminds me that some companies still invest the time to get to the bottom of things - as opposed to just putting it off once a work-around is found. The level of detail and investigation they did is simply... inspiring. I'm stunned.
I'd like to work at a place where that kind of stuff is done. Not all the time, of course, as I'm sure they were all glad that it was over when it was over, but to be able to devote the time to solving the problem as opposed to stopping it - that's nice.
I don't imagine anything I'd do would hit this series of bugs. Too many components that simply aren't something I'd ever want to use. But it's nice to know someone is there digging deep.
