Is that in accord with Zookeeper style? On the question of style, `ZOOKEEPER_DB_AUTOCREATE_DEFAULT` exists purely because `ZOOKEEPER_DATADIR_AUTOCREATE_DEFAULT` exists above it in the file. If including the defaults as static constants isn't Zookeeper style then I'm happy to replace it with a string literal in the constructor.
