Description

Unit tests that use the pattern of server.close() then recreating a new TestingServer instance to simulate connection loss are fragile and will fail periodically.

This appears to be due to a ZooKeeper bug (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-832). It can be worked around by using the server.restart() method instead of close and recreate.

All unit tests need to be investigated and fixed as necessary.
