Hi Cameron,

Looking over the comments, the proposed change, to exit the loop by return, 
seems like a net negative.  While it prevents hammering the server, it seems to 
do so by violating the PEN contract, which I understood to be “If creating the 
node can eventually succeed, it will succeed.”  Now with the caveat that retry 
for auth issues is up to the user.

The notion of using a watch on the parent node to wait for noauth to not be an 
issue seems to be much superior, because it would allow the contract to remain, 
eventually the PEN will succeed if it can succeed, while also not hammering the 
server.   I recognize the complexity would increase as the need for doing 
things in the right order to prevent race conditions would have to be properly 
thought through.

What happens if the parent node doesn’t exist?

Ultimately, could we tie failure back into the config retry somehow?  So that 
you can get exponential backoff retry behavior in PEN?

Subject: Re: Creating PersistentEphemeralNode when noauth leads to cycle

This is definitely an issue, seems like it's the same problem as CURATOR-228. I 
can reproduce it, will look at a fix when I get a minute.

Hi Curator Dev!

We've encountered an issue when creating a PersistentEphemeralNode and the 
authentication fails for the given path. We received a NOAUTH result code, 
which the BackgroundCallback's processResult doesn't handle and tries to create 
the node again. This leads to a cycle. This is an issue for us, because it can 
generate thousands of requests per minute.

We use curator 2.4.2 and zookeeper 3.4.6.

A possibly related JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/i#browse/CURATOR-228?jql=text%20~%20%22PersistentEphemeralNode%22

Do you see this as an issue?
