Zookeeper Client Denial Of Service (Port 2181)
The wchp command to the ZK port 2181 will gather open internal files by each session/watcher and organize them for the requesting client. This command is CPU intensive and will cause a denial of service to the port as well as spike the CPU of the remote machine to 90-100% consistently before any other traffic. The average amount of threads uses was 10000 for testing. This should work on all 3.x+ versions of Zookeeper.
Mitigation:
Disable the wchp command or limit the number of threads used for the command.
