-------------------------------------
Thanks for commenting Karthik.
bq. Formatting without an explicit request seems like a bad idea - a wrong
configuration could easily end up formatting the znode of a different cluster.
At the very least, if we decide to go this route, should have a config to
disable/ enable this.
Just to clarify, when I say "format' in the context of this Jira I assume
making sure that parent ZNodes exist. If parent ZNodes exist, no action will be
performed. I don't think this can do any real damage. I will clarify this in
the description of the Jira. Let me know what you think. I don't mind adding a
config, but before doing so, would like to make sure it is really needed.

> Currently, a manual ZK format step is necessary before ZKFailoverController
> can join leader election. This generally adds overhead on what is needed to
> configure an HA cluster. My proposal is to always ensure that ZK is formatted
> during startup of the ZKFailoverController. If folks do not want to make this
> a default, we can put it under a config.
