Michael Han commented on ZOOKEEPER-2169:
----------------------------------------
bq. Gone through the doc changes and made sure they look good
Generated admin and programmer doc from source, both looks good to me.
bq. Gone through the comment changes to the client-facing methods that have
changed in ZooKeeper and made sure they look good
I left a comment in review board. Basically I think we should document the
semantic of parameters (in particular, ttl) in ZooKeeper.create. Current
documents don't provide enough information for the doc to be user friendly.
Other than this comments look good to me.

> As a user, I would like to be able to create a node that is NOT tied to a
> session but that WILL expire automatically if action is not taken by some
> client within a time window.
> I propose this to enable clients interacting with ZK via http or other "thin
> clients" to create ephemeral-like nodes.
> Some ideas for the design, up for discussion:
> The node should support all normal ZK node operations including ACLs,
> sequential key generation, etc, however, it should not support the ephemeral
> flag. The node will be created with a TTL that is updated via a refresh
> operation.
> The ZK quorum will watch this node similarly to the way that it watches for
> session liveness; if the node is not refreshed within the TTL, it will expire.
> QUESTIONS:
> 1) Should we let the refresh operation set the TTL to a different base value?
> 2) If so, should the setting of the TTL to a new base value cause a watch to
> fire?
> 3) Do we want to allow these nodes to have children or prevent this similar
> to ephemeral nodes?
