Do chrooted paths and namespaces mean the same thing in Apache Curator?
E.g. if we create curator with myserver:2181/pathA, does it mean namespace will be set to pathA?
Or, if namespace is set to pathA, does that equal to setting zk path to myserver:2181/pathA?
If anyone could compare common usages of the two, it would be helpful.
Looks like namespaces and chroot paths work independently of each other. Namespaces are not aware of chroots and treat them no different than regular zk paths.
If namespace is set, it will be applied on top of existing chroot path.
Chrooted paths by themselves do not set corresponding namespaces, however, one would assume the similar behavior between adding chroot to zk path or setting a namespace. One major difference is that one cannot "unset" chroot path, whereas namespace can be overridden.
