Copying from email thread.
We found our ZK server in a state where an ephemeral node still exists after
a client session is long gone. I used the cons command on each ZK host to
list all connections and couldn't find the ephemeralOwner id. We are using
ZK 3.3.3. Has anyone seen this problem?
I got the following information from the logs.
The node that still exists is /kafka-tracking/consumers/UserPerformanceEvent-<host>/owners/UserPerformanceEvent/529-7
I saw that the ephemeral owner is 86167322861045079 which is session id 0x13220b93e610550.
After searching in the transaction log of one of the ZK servers found that session expired

On digging further into the logs I found that there were multiple sessions created in quick succession and every session tried to create the same node. But i verified that the sessions were closed and opened in order
