-------------------------------------------
Summary: ZOOKEEPER-2014 breaks existing clients for little benefit
Key: ZOOKEEPER-2642
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2642
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Bug
Components: c client, java client
Affects Versions: 3.5.2
Reporter: Jordan Zimmerman
ZOOKEEPER-2014 moved the reconfig() methods into a new class, ZooKeeperAdmin.
It appears this was done to document that these are methods have access
restrictions. However, this change breaks Apache Curator (and possibly other
clients). Curator APIs will have to be changed and/or special methods need to
be added. A breaking change of this kind should only be done when the benefit
is overwhelming. In this case, the same information can be conveyed with
documentation and possibly a deprecation notice.
Revert the creation of the ZooKeeperAdmin class and move the reconfig() methods
back to the ZooKeeper class with additional documentation.
