Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-119: ---------------------------------------- We wouldn't create a new API, a number of benefits in using the existing zk read/write operations. I don't think we should hide it - .zookeeper/stats for example could be used to get useful information about the system/tree/node. I was thinking about something along the lines of linux proc filesystem. > Reserve ".zookeeper" node for server use. > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-119 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-119 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: server > Reporter: Patrick Hunt > Assignee: Benjamin Reed > > The server should not allow clients to create .zookeeper nodes in the node > hierarchy. These nodes should be reserved for zk future use, some ideas: > * /.zookeeper/proc > * /.zookeeper/stats > * /.zookeeper/... > * /.../.zookeeper/...
