== Install

sudo gem install zookeeper

== Usage

Connect to a server:

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