Tomás Fernández Löbbe commented on SOLR-4028:
---------------------------------------------

I think I see the issue here, the problem would be if someone mistype the 
initial path, instead of throwing exceptions and stopping, we would be creating 
a new path and probably hiding an error. 
However, we do create paths for overseer and upload configs automatically, I 
think creating the initial path is more consistent with the current behavior 
than stopping startup. Other options I thought are:
•       Only create the initial path when bootstrap_conf is true (or 
bootstrap_confdir). This could still have the same issue described above.
•       Add a new parameter to force creation, something like 
–DzkHost.create=true. This could add unnecessary parameters and configuration 
complexity.

> I think this would make it easier to test and develop with SolrCloud, in 
> order to start with a fresh ZK directory now the approach is to delete ZK 
> data, with this improvement one could just add a chroot to the zkHost like:
> java -DzkHost=localhost:2181/testXYZ -jar start.jar
> Right now this is possible but you have to manually create the initial path.
