Description

The docs incorrectly state the max client timeout as 60 seconds.
http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.0.1/zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_zkSessions

the current server code has the following logic:
if (sessionTimeout < zk.tickTime * 2)

{ sessionTimeout = zk.tickTime * 2; }

if (sessionTimeout > zk.tickTime * 20)

{ sessionTimeout = zk.tickTime * 20; }

So really the docs should say max is 20*tickTime
