Add a Chroot request
--------------------
Key: ZOOKEEPER-237
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-237
Project: Zookeeper
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Benjamin Reed
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to be able to root ZooKeeper handles at specific points in the
namespace, so that applications that use ZooKeeper can work in their own rooted
subtree.
For example, if ops decides that application X can use the subtree /apps/X and
application Y can use the subtree /apps/Y, X can to a chroot to /apps/X and
then all its path references can be rooted at /apps/X. Thus when X creates the
path "/myid", it will actually be creating the path "/apps/X/myid".
There are two ways we can expose this mechanism: 1) We can simply add a
chroot(String path) API, or 2) we can integrate into a service identifier
scheme for example zk://server1:2181,server2:2181/my/root. I like the second
form personally.
