Howdy,
Is there some way for us to identify a node as being a Container node, distinct 
from persistent or ephemeral nodes, via a client?

Inside of the server, it stores the client's session number in the ephemeral 
owner ID for ephemeral nodes, a value of 0 to identify persistent nodes, and a 
value of CONTAINER_EPHEMERAL_OWNER (a Long.MIN_VALUE) to identify Container 
nodes. But when passing back the Stat structure of Container nodes to clients, 
it uses 0 instead of the Long.MIN_VALUE, making it appear as a persistent node 
to the client. Is there some reason for this behavior?

It seems easy enough for me to change that behavior for my own use, in 
DataNode.copyStat(), but I'm concerned about making this change if there's some 
good reason it was being faked out.
