The ZK "create" method explicitly states in the documentation "If the parent node does not exist in the ZooKeeper, a KeeperException with error code KeeperException.NoNode will be thrown." ( (http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/current/api/org/apache/zookeeper/ZooKeeper.html#create%28java.lang.String,%20byte[],%20java.util.List,%20org.apache.zookeeper.CreateMode%29)) As a result, there doesn't appear to be any one single method call that can create a node, along with any missing parent nodes. This would be an incredibly useful API call, though, akin to HDFS' "mkdirs" method call. (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#mkdirs%28org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path%29)

Anybody know if there's a call like this available somewhere in the ZK API?

Thanks,

DR
