Flavio Junqueira commented on ZOOKEEPER-2642:
---------------------------------------------
I don't mind making this change, although it is a bit odd to deprecate a method
in an alpha API. Does anyone else have a concern about this?
> ZOOKEEPER-2014 breaks existing clients for little benefit

> 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.
