Hi Patrick, Thanks! I took a look at zkclient. Since, as you say, it's not very well documented, I'm not 100% clear on the goals of the project. However, I did see that ZooKeeper nodes are described with (String)path throughout, so that tells me that zkclient hasn't adopted the first-class "Node" design I'm proposing. I think, if the "Node" design was found useful by people AND the same people found zkclient useful, there would be some integration possibilities so that the two could work hand-in-hand.
Thanks again for your reply, and thanks in advance for any further guidance or thoughts...
