I had a zookeeper with version 3.4.10 and curator with version 2.12.0 but zookeeper with versions less than 3.5.8 has a strict transitive dependency on log4j1. I would like to use log4j2 that's why it's require to update zookeeper version. I tried different combinations:

1. zookeeper 3.6.1 and curator 5.1.0
2. zookeeper 3.5.9 and curator 5.1.0
3. zookeeper 3.5.9 and curator 5.0.0
4. zookeeper 3.5.9 and curator 5.1.0 + exclude zookeeper dependency from curator
5. zookeeper 3.5.9 and curator 4.3.0 + exclude zookeeper dependency from curator
6. zookeeper 3.6.1 and curator 5.1.0 + exclude zookeeper dependency from curator
   All of these options fail. 1 option is failing with the following stacktrace:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.close(I)Z

2-6 options look like has the same stracktrace:

Actually, ZooKeeperAdmin class presents in Zookeeper since 3.5.7 that's why it's strange why it cannot be found.
Could someone suggest any ideas? Is it an issue with dependencies versions (I couldn't find any details for zk > 3.4 with curator)? Or any way to debug and get understanding of this issue?
