------------------------------------
Hi folks,
Both ZOOKEEPER-834 and this has similarities in the way supporting children to
a znode which is owned by a session. This is really a nice feature and it would
be good if we can reach to an agreement on both the cases.
After reading the comments on this JIRA I got confused a bit, but I'm also
thinking similar way where [~fpj] was suggesting. How about seeing a node like:-
Solidary or Federation znode -
* only the session owner can create children under the parent znode
* allows to create my type znode as child (no persistent or ephemeral child
under me)
* exists if session is alive
* delete if it doesn't have children and session expires
Appreciate any thoughts:)

> ephemeral znodes have the nice property of automatically cleaning up after
> themselves when the creator goes away, but since they can't have children it
> is hard to build subtrees that will cleanup after the clients that are using
> them are gone.
> rather than changing the semantics of ephemeral nodes, i propose ephemeral
> parents: znodes that disappear when they have no more children. this cleanup
> would happen automatically when the last child is removed. an ephemeral
> parent is not tied to any particular session, so even if the creator goes
> away, the ephemeral parent will remain as long as there are children.
> the when an ephemeral parent is created it will have an initial child, so
> that it doesn't get immediately removed. i think this child should be an
> ephemeral znode with a predefined name, "firstChild".
