Description

I connect to ZooKeeper server via zkCli.

I want to create a Znode using the following command:

// "-1" is data 
set /seata/server.maxCommitRetryTimeout -1

However, it threw an exception as follows:

org.apache.commons.cli.UnrecognizedOptionException: Unrecognized option: -1

I tried to use character " ( double-quote ) ,  ' ( single-quote ) or  \ ( backslash ) to escape, but it still did NOT work.

I want to know, how should this special character be escaped in zookeeper?
