Description

Currently in the Zookeeper migration utility there is support for applying acls when importing zookeeper data (Znodes). However this support only applies default ACLs values (either Open or Creator specific), and the value used depends on if security is enabled or disabled in the destination Zookeeper instance. This may become problematic if the user/identity used to import zookeeper data does not align with the users/identities that require read/modify rights on the imported Znodes. This also doesn't provide users flexibility in defining specific rights or applying additional authorizations on paths.

Enhancing the existing utility to support providing ACL information would offer users more flexibility in defining permissions and authentication schemes on znodes.
