----------------------------------

             Summary: Invalid LeaderLatch path never errors
                 Key: CURATOR-136
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-136
             Project: Apache Curator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Recipes
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
            Reporter: John Vines


I was messing with the LeaderLatch and I noticed some ill behavior for the 
pathing of it. Given the following code-

{code}  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    TestingServer ts = new TestingServer();

    CuratorFramework curator = 
CuratorFrameworkFactory.builder().connectString(ts.getConnectString()).retryPolicy(new
 ExponentialBackoffRetry(1000, 5)).build();
    curator.start();
    curator.getZookeeperClient().blockUntilConnectedOrTimedOut();
    curator.create().creatingParentsIfNeeded().forPath("/parent", "A 
string".getBytes());
    
    try {
      LeaderLatch ll = new LeaderLatch(curator, "parent", "myNode");
      ll.start();
      ll.await();
      System.out.println(ll.hasLeadership());
      ll.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

    ts.close();
  }
{code}

the system will just hang forever. Inspecting the TestingServer with zkcli 
shows entries showing up though.

If I switch out the path in the LeaderLatch constructor with "/parent", the 
same path is created AND the program runs fine.

LeaderLatch should either accept the path all around or fail outright, not this 
half state that makes things difficult for the user.
