César Álvarez Núñez commented on ZOOKEEPER-1172: ------------------------------------------------ Sorry, I should have read the link [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/HowToContribute How To Contribute] more carefully. Fixed findbugs and core test issues. Running full "ant test". With regard to "don't use system properties/env, rather use config file", I'm not really sure if config file is the best option since it contains server configuration properties and not client properties. Anyway I think that a better approach is to include a new constructor like the following (with its corresponding two sibling without 'canBeReadOnly' and 'sessionId & sessionPasswd'.): {code:title=ZooKeeper.java|borderStyle=solid} public ZooKeeper(HostProvider hostProvider, String chroot, int sessionTimeout, Watcher watcher, long sessionId, byte[] sessionPasswd, boolean canBeReadOnly) throws IOException {code} Where "connectString" is replaced by two new parameters: HostProvider and chroot. In fact "chroot" should be separated from "servers list" because you can interpret that it is allowed to set a chroot per server (server1:port1/chroot1,server2:port2/chroot2). I understand that there is not any limitation on adding new constructors as long as backward compatibility is not broken, don't I? Finally, why priority has been changed to "Major"? I don't like it could block in some way the 3.4.0 release. > Support for custom org.apache.zookeeper.client.HostProvider implementation. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1172 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1172 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: java client > Reporter: César Álvarez Núñez > Assignee: César Álvarez Núñez > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1172.patch > > > The interface org.apache.zookeeper.client.HostProvider exist but it is > hardcoded to org.apache.zookeeper.client.StaticHostProvider at Zookeeper > constructor. > Now it could be replaced by any other implementation just by pointing the > system property "zookeeper.clientHostProvider" to the class name of your > custom HostProvider implementation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
