Jordan Zimmerman commented on ZOOKEEPER-2779: --------------------------------------------- [~hanm] - The reconfig() APIs are useless until you set ACLs for /zookeeper/config. This is the "online" part. You cannot do any reconfig() operation until the read-only ACL has been changed. > Add option to not set ACL for reconfig node > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-2779 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2779 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.5.3 > Reporter: Jordan Zimmerman > Assignee: Jordan Zimmerman > Fix For: 3.5.4, 3.6.0 > > > ZOOKEEPER-2014 changed the behavior of the /zookeeper/config node by setting > the ACL to {{ZooDefs.Ids.READ_ACL_UNSAFE}}. This change makes it very > cumbersome to use the reconfig APIs. It also, perversely, makes security > worse as the entire ZooKeeper instance must be opened to "super" user while > enabled reconfig (per {{ReconfigExceptionTest.java}}). Provide a mechanism > for savvy users to disable this ACL so that an application-specific custom > ACL can be set. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
