Stu Hood commented on ZOOKEEPER-44: ----------------------------------- I'd be fine with the sort being removed from getChildren, but fixing the natural sorting problem is still important. It causes undue pain for the client to have to perform an integer-aware sort to get the proper ordering for locks. My workaround was to pad the sequence value before appending it to the path in create: {code:java} if ((createRequest.getFlags() & CreateFlags.SEQUENCE) != 0) { path = path + String.format("%1$010d", parentCVersion); } {code} > DataTree does not use natural sort for getChildren > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-44 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-44 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Stu Hood > Priority: Minor > > DataTree.getChildren() performs Collection.sort() on the list of children > before returning it, but Java's default comparator for Strings will sort > 'lock-20' before 'lock-3' for instance. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
