The code bellow let you create a zNode (and its parents if not created yet) under a specific path and assigning data to the zNode.

Calling the method "CuratorFramework::create" will create the zNode (and its parents if not created yet) and return the path of the created zNode.

You will get this error if the zNode exists in ZooKeeper: org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NodeExistsException: KeeperErrorCode = NodeExists for /path
In order for the code bellow to work:
► Make sure to update the "CONNECT_STRING" variable with your information.

Here's an example of how to create a zNode (and its parents if not created yet) under a specific path + assigning data to the zNode:
final String CONNECT_STRING = "localhost:2181"; final int SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS = Integer.valueOf(60 * 1000); final int CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MS = Integer.valueOf(15 * 1000); final RetryPolicy RETRY_POLICY = new RetryOneTime(1000); // -- CuratorFrameworkFactory::newClient final CuratorFramework curatorFramework = CuratorFrameworkFactory.newClient(CONNECT_STRING, SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS, CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MS, RETRY_POLICY); // -- CuratorFramework::start curatorFramework.start(); // -- CuratorFramework::create::creatingParentsIfNeeded::forPath(path, data) final String path = "/abc/abc1"; final String data = "zNode data ..."; final String result = curatorFramework.create().creatingParentsIfNeeded().forPath(path, data.getBytes()); System.out.println(result); // -- CuratorFramework::close curatorFramework.close();
