== Install

sudo gem install zookeeper

== Usage

Connect to a server:

require 'rubygems' require 'zookeeper' z = Zookeeper.new("localhost:2181")

Create, set and read nodes:

z.create("/bacon", "text to be stored in the new node", 0) data, stat = z.get("/bacon") # => ["text to be stored in the new node"...]

z.set("/bacon", "an entirely different line of text", stat.version) z.set("/bacon", "this won't work", stat.version) # CZookeeper::BadVersionError: expected version does not match actual version

data, stat = z.get("/bacon") # => ["an entirely different line of text"...] z.delete("/bacon", stat.version)

Create ephemeral and sequence nodes:

z.create("/parent", "parent node", 0)

z.create("/parent/test-", "an ordered ephemeral node", Zookeeper::EPHEMERAL | Zookeeper::SEQUENCE) # => "/parent/test-0"

z.create("/parent/test-", "an ordered ephemeral node", Zookeeper::EPHEMERAL | Zookeeper::SEQUENCE) # => "/parent/test-1"

z.get_children(:path => "/")

== Idioms

The following methods are initially supported: get set get_children stat create delete get_acl set_acl

All support async callbacks. get, get_children and stat support both watchers and callbacks.

Calls take a dictionary of parameters. With the exception of set_acl, the only required parameter is :path. Each call returns a dictionary with at minimum two keys :req_id and :rc.
