stack commented on HBASE-3238:
------------------------------

Hey honey.  Is there a create that works even if node already exists?

What is this '+   * @param str String to amend.   -1'

When you say above that it limits to write under /hbase, you don't mean exactly 
/hbase, you mean whatever is configured as cluster home in zk?

> HBase needs to have the CREATE permission on the parent of its ZooKeeper 
> parent znode

> Upon startup, HBase attempts to create its zookeeper.parent.znode in 
> ZooKeeper, it does so using ZKUtil.createAndFailSilent which as its name 
> seems to imply will fail silent if the znode exists. But if HBase does not 
> have the CREATE permission on its zookeeper.parent.znode parent znode then 
> the create attempt will fail with a 
> org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NoAuthException and will terminate the 
> process.
> In a production environment where ZooKeeper has a managed namespace it is not 
> possible to give HBase CREATE permission on the parent of its parent znode.
> ZKUtil.createAndFailSilent should therefore be modified to check that the 
> znode exists using ZooKeeper.exist prior to attempting to create it.
