Subject: Running server with -Xdump?
To: "user@zookeeper.apache.org" <user@zookeeper.apache.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org

I am looking into this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1934

We believe that a server gets into a permanently hosed state and we're
trying to figure out how to debug it the next time we see it.

Has anyone ever run with -Xdump?  Should I expect problems?

Has anyone had success debugging server problems from a jvm core dump?

Thanks!
Jared
