zookeeper 客户端源码解读（三）exists

 public Stat exists(final String path, Watcher watcher)
        throws KeeperException, InterruptedException
    {
        final String clientPath = path;
        PathUtils.validatePath(clientPath);

        // the watch contains the un-chroot path
        WatchRegistration wcb = null;
        if (watcher != null) {
            wcb = new ExistsWatchRegistration(watcher, clientPath);
        }

        final String serverPath = prependChroot(clientPath);

        RequestHeader h = new RequestHeader();
        h.setType(ZooDefs.OpCode.exists);
        ExistsRequest request = new ExistsRequest();
        request.setPath(serverPath);
        request.setWatch(watcher != null);
        SetDataResponse response = new SetDataResponse();
        ReplyHeader r = cnxn.submitRequest(h, request, response, wcb);
        if (r.getErr() != 0) {
            if (r.getErr() == KeeperException.Code.NONODE.intValue()) {
                return null;
            }
            throw KeeperException.create(KeeperException.Code.get(r.getErr()),
                    clientPath);
        }

        return response.getStat().getCzxid() == -1 ? null : response.getStat();
    }

Return the stat of the node of the given path. Return null if no such a
node exists.
If the watch is non-null and the call is successful (no exception is thrown),
a watch will be left on the node with the given path. The watch will be
triggered by a successful operation that creates/delete the node or sets
the data on the node.
这个方法通常用来增加监听

在原生客户端里，监听是一次性的，在 增删改 出发监听后，监听就没有了。
而且如果是调用以下这个方法：

public Stat exists(String path, boolean watch) throws KeeperException,
        InterruptedException
    {
        return exists(path, watch ? watchManager.defaultWatcher : null);
    }

只有父节点有监听才行，而且不能隔代。
