Description

When connected to Zookeeper through CLI, many times there is need to know who is the current user. This is helpful when finding ACL related problems. Finding who is current user is not easy, have to check many configuration both at client and at server.

Personally I run below three commands to know the current user

create /a
setAcl /a auth::cdrwa
getAcl /a

Given all the above facts, I think adding whoami command will be good add-on into the zookeeper command list.
