             Summary: Race in PersistentNode startup
                 Key: CURATOR-310
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-310
             Project: Apache Curator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Recipes
    Affects Versions: 2.10.0
            Reporter: Gerd Behrmann


We ran into what looks like a race in PersisentNode startup:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path cannot be null

org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.nodes.PersistentNode.setData(PersistentNode.java:323)
 ~[curator-recipes-2.10.0.jar:na]

The problem here is that PersistentNode#setData calls 
PersistentNode#getActualPath, however the nodePath field accessed by 
PersistentNode#getActualPath isn't set until 
PersistentNode#processBackgroundCallback is called as a result of the 
createNode call in PersistentNode#start. 

I.e. if one calls PersistentNode#setData right after calling start, there is a 
race between the node creation initializing the actual path and 
PersistentNode#setData accessing it.
