operation timeout

[mxk1235]

I'd like to understand a bit more about an error that I get every once in a while.

exception: operation timeout
exception type: undefined
exception arguments: undefined
stack: ZooKeeperError: operation timeout
at onChildren

from what I understand, the client could not connect to my zk cluster and get status. But I would like the client to check again, because the host is quite busy and it's possible nodejs simply didn't get to that callback yet.

Under what conditions does the timeout occur? What is the timeout value? Is this the same timeout as specified on createClient? How many times did zkplus try, i.e. are there configurable retries?

thanks in advance!
