Hi Pablo,
      
      Thanks for the report.  This is an interesting problem...and I
      would like to enlist your help in diagnosing.
      
      I've read over both your email and your stackoverflow posting and
      have a couple of hypotheses about what's going on...as well as
      some questions that might give me a clearer idea of what's going
      wrong.   I'm hopeful that with a little investigation we can
      diagnose and fix what's going wrong here.
      
      I think it might be best, though, to create a new bug on which to
      have the discussion, q and a, etc.  Would you be willing to create
      a new bug to record the info that you've collected?  Here is the
      ECF bug category:
      
      
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=ECF
      
      I know this is some additional work for you, but it would be
      better for you to create the bug and put the info you've collected
      there, rather than me or another committer...since we haven't yet
      actually experienced it in test or other code.
      
      A couple of initial thoughts/hypotheses/questions:
      
      1) It seems possible to me that there is some timing problem with
      discovery (zookeeper in your case).  Have you tried turning on the
      Zookeeper debug/tracing info?
      2) Another possibility is that in some startup cases, the export
      of the remote services is not happening fast enough for ds (i.e.
      within the default 30s).   It's very strange to me that it reports
      the equinox.event as the one being waited on however (the
      equinox.event is indeed used by the ECF RSA implementation...for
      import, however).   Could you describe on the bug what service
      topology you have (i.e. which services are being exported by which
      nodes, and which services are being imported by which nodes).
      
      WRT this question:
      <stuff deleted>
      
      
      Is there any way to "refresh/force" the service
        annoucement/search? (or avoid the warning message, which is the
        thing that is affecting the services, probably).
        
        [Scott]  Yes.  The OSGi RSA specification makes it possible to
        explicitly control the export and import of remote services, by
        creating and using a custom 'topology manager'.     There's some
        info on this here:
        
        
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Remote_Services_Admin
        
        And much more (of course) in the OSGi RSA spec.   I'm hoping for
        this use case that won't be necessary, however (i.e. you
        can/could continue to use the ECF default topology manager), but
        if that becomes necessary it is an option.  ECF's implementation
        of the topology manger can easily be extended/replaced...again
        if that proves to be necessary.  But let's investigate this
        issue closely on this new bug first...as the issue you are
        seeing does look timing related...and may have more to do with a
        bug than with a need for a replacement topology manager.
        
        Thanks,
        
        Scott
        
        
        
      
      
      This issue is happening randomly in all the four
        nodes of my network.
      
      
      Thanks in advance!
