Michael Han commented on ZOOKEEPER-2014:
----------------------------------------
Good point on throwing an unchecked exception which does not contaminate method
signatures. The benefit of throwing a KeeperException here is minimum as the
higher level code in ZooKeeperServerMain that processed typed exceptions
currently does not specifically react to KeeperException (and there seems not
much need to do so), so processing a KeeperException in ZooKeeperServerMain
will end up with same code path as a RuntimeException. Let me update the patch
again to keep it lean.
> Only admin should be allowed to reconfig a cluster

> ZOOKEEPER-107 introduces reconfiguration support via the reconfig() call. We
> should, at the very least, ensure that only the Admin can reconfigure a
> cluster. Perhaps restricting access to /zookeeper/config as well, though this
> is debatable. Surely one could ensure Admin only access via an ACL, but that
> would leave everyone who doesn't use ACLs unprotected. We could also force a
> default ACL to make it a bit more consistent (maybe).
> Finally, making reconfig() only available to Admins means they have to run
> with zookeeper.DigestAuthenticationProvider.superDigest (which I am not sure
> if everyone does, or how would it work with other authentication providers).
