             Summary: PathChildrenCache stops working if container node is 
auto-removed and later recreated
                 Key: CURATOR-388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-388
             Project: Apache Curator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Recipes
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
         Environment: zookeeper 3.5.2-alpha
            Reporter: Rhys Yarranton
         Attachments: EmptyPathChildrenCacheTest.java

PathChildrenCache uses CreateContainers to create the path as a container(if it 
does not already exist).  If at some point that container is empty, ZooKeeper 
may remove it.  If at some later point the path is recreated and a child node 
added, the PathChildrenCache will not detect it.  No event will be fired, nor 
will the child node appear in getCurrentData().

The attached test reproduces the problem most of the time if the ZooKeeper 
server has znode.container.checkIntervalMs reduced to 1000.

A workaround is to explicitly create the path as a non-container before 
starting the PathChildrenCache.

NB there are two related problems here.  One is that it has trouble handling 
containers.  More serious is that it creates a container, thus running itself 
into trouble.
