------------------------------------

             Summary: ZooKeeperInstance constructor should avoid throwing RuntimeExceptions
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1694
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
            Reporter: John Vines
             Fix For: 1.6.0


Currently all ZooKeeper related exceptions that occur in ZooKeeperInstance's constructor get propagated out as RuntimeExceptions. We should change this behavior to allow for better client handling of configuration issues.

I think the best options are to either have the constructor throw an exception for this (which I'm a bit meh on) or having methods which actually need to talk to ZooKeeper propagate a non-runtime exception. We can easily wrap this under AccumuloException for getConnector, I think, but getMasterLocations() and getRootTabletLocation() would also have to propagate an error which would mean an interface change.
