I use ordereddict because I think there are places where ordering matters
with regards to the data in zookeeper. Using ordereddict ensures compatibility
as python dictionaries (and the json parser) do not guarantee ordering. Let me
know if the ordering requirement can be dropped and I can easily rewrite this.
