> In our use case, we use *{{TreeCache}}* to get Zk Data periodically. We start *{{TreeCache}}* read data and close it. In this use case, The {{ZkWatchManager}} of {{ZooKeeper}} class keeps growing for every TreeCache operation because new {{TreeNode}} objects are created and added there leading to a memory leak. Also since we do not want the Watcher to periodically watch, this creates unnecessary background operations.
> Can we introduce a builder flag in CuratorFramework's Builder some thing called "createZkWatches" that we can use to turn the watchers off? The default would be set to true to retain the current behaviour.
