Flavio Paiva Junqueira commented on ZOOKEEPER-66: ------------------------------------------------- I'm not entirely convinced that this is a good idea. The watcher is important for the communication between ZooKeeper and the client, and I can understand if you want to use a null watcher in the case you're implementing a quick program for debugging or perhaps test purposes, but in such cases implementing the Watcher interface and declaring a process method that does nothing doesn't seem like a huge burden to me. I'm affraid that by adding a null watcher, we'll give the impression to users that implementing a Watcher is not that important. > Add NullWatcher, a watcher that does nothing > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-66 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-66 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: java client > Reporter: Anthony Urso > Priority: Minor > Attachments: nullwatcher.diff > > > I found that I was repeating this code all over the place.
