Apache Curator IllegalStateException: Already closed or has not been started

Suppose that we were trying to call close() on an Apache Curator Framework object, and we encountered this exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already closed or has not been started
  at org.apache.curator.shaded.com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:507)
  at org.apache.curator.x.discovery.details.ServiceCacheImpl.close(ServiceCacheImpl.java:124)
  at org.apache.curator.x.discovery.details.ServiceProviderImpl.close(ServiceProviderImpl.java:86)

There will also be an answer to the question of how to know if a Curator Framework is running or started.

This is happed because the Curator Framework has already been stopped or has not started at all. All you need to do is add the check:

if (curatorFramework.getState() != CuratorFrameworkState.STOPPED) {

  curatorFramework.close();

}
