Description

SLIDER-134 added a default node for an application instance.

Looking at the createZookeeperNode() class, it does nothing if the cluster is secure. Which means that any expectation that slider is going to set up a default path will be false in this situation.

We need to decide the policy here and then implement it. As setting up secure ZK paths is very hard (more precisely, knowing what permissions to pass down is very hard), it is simplest to delegate to the user/ZK cluster admins. In which case the client should fail if a --zkpath attribute is passed in at build time
