Creating a EPHEMERAL_SEQUENTIAL node was being used to ensure the
Zookeeper connection had been established. These were never explicitly
removed, which led to tryLock effectively leaking zNodes until the
client was terminated. This in turn lead to an extremely large number of
ephemeral nodes being deleted whenever a long running service
terminated!
This fix replaces the creation of a node with a stat of "/" instead.
This has the desired effect of re-establishing the Zookeeper connection,
but is a read-only operation.
* Remove unused import

Spring Integration 
Checking out and Building
To check out the project and build from source, do the following:
git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration.git
cd spring-integration
./gradlew build
NOTE: While Spring Integration runs with Java SE 6 or higher, a Java 8 compiler is required to build the project.
If you encounter out of memory errors during the build, increase available heap and permgen for Gradle:
GRADLE_OPTS='-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xmx1024m'
To build and install jars into your local Maven cache:
./gradlew install
To build api Javadoc (results will be in build/api):
./gradlew api
To build reference documentation (results will be in build/reference):
./gradlew reference
To build complete distribution including -dist, -docs, and -schema zip files (results will be in build/distributions)
./gradlew dist
Using Eclipse
To generate Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files), do the following:
./gradlew eclipse
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
Browse to the 'spring-integration' root directory. All projects should import free of errors.
Using IntelliJ IDEA
To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:
./gradlew idea
