Description

When attepmting to start ZooKeeper using the ZKServer.cmd batch file, I receive the following error:

D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin>call "D:\jre1.8.0_212"\bin\java "-Dzookeeper.log.dir=D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\logs" "-Dzookeeper.root.logger=ALL1,CONSOLE" "-Dzookeeper.log.file=zookeeper-ironman-server-TF-AMIR-BASTION.log" "-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError" "-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=cmd /c taskkill /pid %%p /t /f" -cp "D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\build\classes;D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\build\lib\*;D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\*;D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\lib\*;D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\conf" org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain "D:\apache-zookeeper-3.5.5-bin\bin\..\conf\zoo.cfg"

The zoo.cfg is a copy-paste from the zoo_sample.cfg - the dataDir parameter is pointing to E:/zookeeper - an existing empty directory.

The previous two stable releases start without any issues:

zookeeper-3.4.10.tar.gz
zookeeper-3.4.14.tar.gz

 

Last, but not least, the 3.5.5 release works fine for me on Windows 10 (fully updated), Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
