ability to add a watch on a setData or create call
--------------------------------------------------
Key: ZOOKEEPER-778
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-778
Project: Zookeeper
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: c client, java client, server
Reporter: Woody Anderson
Priority: Minor
It is often desirable to set a watch when creating a node or setting data on a
node. Currently, you have to add a watch after the create/set with another api
call, which incurs extra cost, and a window of unobserved state change.
This would "seem" to be an easy addition to the server/client libs, but i'm not
sure if there are reasons this was never proposed or developed.
I currently am most concerned with a data watch in these two scenarios, but i
would imagine other users might be interested in registering a children watch
immediately upon creation.
This change would require adding new method signatures in the clients for
create and setData which took watchers. And some changes to the protocol, as
the SetDataRequest and CreateRequest objects would need watch flags.
