A persistent node is a node that attempts to stay present in ZooKeeper, even through connection and session interruptions.
public PersistentNode(CuratorFramework client,
CreateMode mode,
boolean useProtection,
String basePath,
byte[] data,
boolean useParentCreation)
Parameters:
client - client instance
mode - creation mode
useProtection - if true, call CreateBuilder.withProtection()
basePath - the base path for the node
data - data for the node
useParentCreation - if true, call CreateBuilder.creatingParentContainersIfNeeded()
PersistentNodes must be started:
node.start();
When you are through with the PersistentNode instance, you should call close:
node.close();
NOTE: this will delete the node
PersistentNode instances internally handle all error states recreating the node as necessary.
