Michael Han commented on ZOOKEEPER-2779:
----------------------------------------
The current approach does not require a client to set the ACL. The ACL on the
config node is set when ZK server is started by the server itself. And the
superuser is configured at server start up. So there is no configuration
changes after server is started, thus it is offline.
> Add option to not set ACL for reconfig node

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2779
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2779
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: server
> Affects Versions: 3.5.3
> Reporter: Jordan Zimmerman
> Assignee: Jordan Zimmerman
> Fix For: 3.5.4, 3.6.0
>
>
> ZOOKEEPER-2014 changed the behavior of the /zookeeper/config node by setting
> the ACL to {{ZooDefs.Ids.READ_ACL_UNSAFE}}. This change makes it very
> cumbersome to use the reconfig APIs. It also, perversely, makes security
> worse as the entire ZooKeeper instance must be opened to "super" user while
> enabled reconfig (per {{ReconfigExceptionTest.java}}). Provide a mechanism
> for savvy users to disable this ACL so that an application-specific custom
> ACL can be set.
