Why Get DATA keyword has been used in zookeeper

Question

Hi,

Can someone explain why GetData keyword is used in zookeeper?

Answer 1

Hey,

It returns the associated data of the znode and metadata of the specified znode. You will get information such as when the data was last modified, where it was modified, and information about the data. This CLI is also used to assign watches to show notification about the data.

Syntax:-

get /path 

Sample:-

get /FirstZnode

Output:-

[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 1] get /FirstZnode
