Rakesh R commented on ZOOKEEPER-1875:
-------------------------------------

[~michim] When reviewing the code, I've come across one case where it can 
result in NPE. Zookeeper client.register(null) allows null watcher and during 
connection event the following code results in null watcher.

{code}
            case None:
                result.add(defaultWatcher);
                boolean clear = ClientCnxn.getDisableAutoResetWatch() &&
                        state != Watcher.Event.KeeperState.SyncConnected;
{code}

I've attached a patch to validate the null connection watcher at the api level. 
I hope this wont be a compatibility issue for 3.5 release?
