Apache Curator Unimplemented Errors When Trying to Create zNodes


I'm attempting to use Apache Curator with a dockerized zookeeper instance and no matter how I attempt to connect I always end up with a

org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$UnimplementedException: KeeperErrorCode = Unimplemented for...

error. I've tried making sense of the documentation but I'm not getting anywhere. I've logged into the zookeeper CLI and ensured the port number is correct thusly:

snerd@powerglove:~$ docker ps CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS   NAMES 31f1093495ba        compose_zookeeper   "/opt/zookeeper/bin/   3 weeks ago         Up About a minute   0.0.0.0:32770->2181/tcp,
0.0.0.0:32769->2888/tcp, 0.0.0.0:32768->3888/tcp   zookeeper

here is the code I'm trying to use:

public class App {
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        CuratorFramework client = CuratorFrameworkFactory.newClient("0.0.0.0:32770", new RetryUntilElapsed(3000, 1000));
        client.start();

            try {
                client.create().forPath("/larry-smells/foop", "tuna?".getBytes());
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.toString());
            }

    }
}

As far as I can tell from the Curator getting started page, this should work. What am I missing?

edit1 just figured out that I'm able to pull data out of the zookeeper ensemble thusly:

System.out.println(new String(curatorFramework.getData().forPath("/larry-smells"))); 

but the create command is still blowing up.

stacktrace of the error:

Solution


  • Edit: Apparently this error can occur if you're using the wrong combination of Curator in combination with Zookeeper. From curator.apache.org :

    Curator 2.x.x - compatible with both ZooKeeper 3.4.x and ZooKeeper 3.5.x

    Curator 3.x.x - compatible only with ZooKeeper 3.5.x and includes support for new features such as dynamic reconfiguration, etc.


    It's hard to pinpoint your problem with only that error-code and not a stack trace, but some improvements I would suggest to make your application more stable is:

    public class App {
        public static void main( String[] args ) {
            CuratorFramework client = CuratorFrameworkFactory.newClient("0.0.0.0:32770", new RetryUntilElapsed(3000, 1000));
            client.start();
    
            try {
                //make sure you're connected to zookeeper.
                client.blockUntilConnected();
    
                //Make sure the parents are created.
                client.create().creatingParentsIfNeeded().forPath("/larry-smells/foop", "tuna?".getBytes());
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.toString());
                }
    
        }
    }
