Jason Rosenberg commented on KAFKA-294:
---------------------------------------
This issue happens also in 0.8.0
It would be even better, if the chroot is not present in zk, that it be
automatically created, thus avoiding this issue altogether.

> When starting Kafka 0.7.0 using zkclient-0.1.jar, I get this error:
> INFO 2012-03-06 02:39:04,072 main kafka.server.KafkaZooKeeper Registering

> The problem seems to be this code in ZkClient's createPersistent method:
> String parentDir = path.substring(0, path.lastIndexOf('/'));
> createPersistent(parentDir, createParents);
> createPersistent(path, createParents);
> which doesn't check for whether parentDir is an empty string, which it will
> become for /brokers/ids/1 after two recursions.
