[jira] Commented: (ZOOKEEPER-237) Add a Chroot request

["Patrick Hunt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-237?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12650337#action_12650337 ] 

Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-237:
----------------------------------------

I like the idea of being able to bind an application to a particular subtree. However this binding should be opaque to the client - the client should not be specifying (or circumventing) the root. The operator should map a credential to a root (ala aws s3)

> It would be nice to be able to root ZooKeeper handles at specific points in the namespace, so that applications that use ZooKeeper can work in their own rooted subtree.
> For example, if ops decides that application X can use the subtree /apps/X and application Y can use the subtree /apps/Y, X can to a chroot to /apps/X and then all its path references can be rooted at /apps/X. Thus when X creates the path "/myid", it will actually be creating the path "/apps/X/myid".
> There are two ways we can expose this mechanism: 1) We can simply add a chroot(String path) API, or 2) we can integrate into a service identifier scheme for example zk://server1:2181,server2:2181/my/root. I like the second form personally.
