Yeah, I guess I'll have to whip up something similar.

We just wrote a very simple helper method that splits the path up and

This isn't as efficient as it can be though if you're doing it
frequently (which we don't do), but it works for us.

The ZK "create" method explicitly states in the documentation "If the

error code KeeperException.NoNode will be thrown." (

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,

I guess that's a no.  :-(
