Github user cammckenzie commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/curator/pull/213 Ah, I see now. It's the Preconditions.checkState call that causes the issue. I thought that we could just hold a reference to the builder and then call forPath() on it when required. But that checkState call will fail if the client is not started. So, the PR looks OK to me. Merge away.
