Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-472:
-----------------------------------------

i think we should expand this to not instantiate a hashmap for all zondes if 
there aren't any children. it creates a fixed size overhead for all leaf nodes 
and since there will always be more leaves than inner nodes, it is a none 
trivial space saving. i think it could also speed serialization/deserialization 
since it is faster to process a null then an empty hashmap. plus i think it 
keeps the code simpler to not have a new class.
