Subject: ZK bug that removes all data.
From: Mahadev Konar <mahadev@apache.org>
To: zookeeper-dev@hadoop.apache.org, zookeeper-user@hadoop.apache.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

HI all,
  We have just noticed that there is ZK bug which deletes all the
files in the local file system. This may sound weird but to prevent
this bug from happening, you will have to pour some cold water on the
machines that you run ZooKeeper on. Make sure that the water
temperature is less than 7 C. If you still see files being deleted in
your system, try pouring some boiling water on the machine.

Hope that you do not lose your data!
