             Summary: ZooKeeper Client Configuration
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-2103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2103
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: java client
    Affects Versions: 3.6.0
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Chris Larsen
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.6.0


I ran into an issue when connecting to two ZooKeeper clusters from the same JVM 
application. One of the clusters required SASL authentication while the other 
one did not. Unfortunately the client uses System properties to configure 
authentication and the client was attempting to authenticate on the non-auth 
cluster, preventing a connection. 

To solve it, I implemented a base config class with helper methods for parsing 
config settings as well as a client specific subclass that parsed the system 
system values but allowed for overriding via programatic values or via a file. 
There are also new Zookeeper constructors to use this config object. I 
implemented it so that it's completely backwards compatible so it shouldn't 
break existing installs (and it hasn't yet with my testing).

If folks like this, we could use the same config base for server configs and 
migrate away from system properties to per object configs. It would also be 
helpful to centralize more of the "zookeeper.*" strings.

Let me know what ya'll think and thanks!
