Description

By replacing the direct Zookeeper API calls with the Curator framework in the ZooKeeperExt class, all of the boilerplate retry logic and recursive node creation/deletion is removed leaving just the core business logic. In the future, a deeper integration with some of the Curator recipes (like barriers perhaps) could simplify cluster coordination even further.
