[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-2053) Make initZk a protected function

Christian Kampka created KAFKA-2053:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Make initZk a protected function
                 Key: KAFKA-2053
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2053
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0
            Reporter: Christian Kampka
            Priority: Minor


In our environment, we have established an external procedure to notify clients of changes in the zookeeper cluster configuration, especially appearance and disappearance of nodes. it has also become quite common to run Kafka as an embedded service (especially in tests).

When doing so, it would makes things easier if it were possible to manipulate the creation of the zookeeper client to supply Kafka with a specialized ZooKeeper client that is adjusted to our needs but of course API compatible with the ZkClient.

Therefore, I would like to propose to make the initZk method protected so we will be able to simply override it for client creation.
