My ensemble is a single ZK node running on the same computer as the rest 
of my application.  I think it is a "good state" because my configuration 
data does get loaded into ZK. 

Does ZK create the ConnectionLossException if the session timed out and I 
tried to use it after this happened?  If so, it would be related to the 
timeout.  If not, what causes ConnectionLossException?

Connection loss is not related with the session timeout. If it frequently 
ocurrs, then it indicates that the ensemble of zookeeper are not in a good 
state.

Subject: ConnectionLossException
We are currently using ZK 3.3.4, which is included in the version of Kafka 

we are using.  I'm seeing a number of exceptions like:
 
org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$ConnectionLossException: 
KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss for /com
        at 
org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException.create(KeeperException.java:90)
        at 
org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException.create(KeeperException.java:42)
        at org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.exists(ZooKeeper.java:815)
        at org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.exists(ZooKeeper.java:843)
        at 
com.ibm.tivoli.ccm.config.rest.ConfigClient.setValueAtNode(ConfigClient.java:630)
 
My method setValueAtNode includes a call to this method before I make any 
zk (ZooKeeper) calls:
 
    private void connectZooKeeper() {
        final String methodName = "connectZooKeeper";
        trace.entry(CLASS_NAME, methodName);
        if (zk == null || zk.getState() != States.CONNECTED) {
            if (zk != null) {
                close();
            }
            try {
                zk = new ZooKeeper(connectString, sessionTimeout, this);
                int connectAttempts = 0;
                while (zk.getState() != States.CONNECTED && 
connectAttempts < MAX_ZK_CONNECT_ATTEMPTS) {
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(ZK_CONNECT_WAIT);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // Ignore
                    }
                    connectAttempts++;
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                trace.exception(CLASS_NAME, methodName, e);
            }
        }
        trace.exit(CLASS_NAME, methodName); 
    }
 
I'm totally guessing that the connection is timing out between the time 
this method is called and when I make the following zk method calls.  Is 
there a best practise for ensuring one is connected to ZooKeeper?  My 
session timeout is 3000 ms.
