Apache ZooKeeper Examples

ZooKeeper Examples

Author: Patrick Hunt (follow me on twitter)

Summary

This project provides random examples of useful bits of ZooKeeper ephemera that I haven’t had a chance to submit back to the ASF ZooKeeper project yet.

What’s Apache ZooKeeper?

From the official site: “ZooKeeper is a high-performance coordination service for distributed applications.”

It exposes common services – such as naming, configuration management, synchronization, and group services – in a simple interface so you don’t have to write them from scratch. You can use it off-the-shelf to implement consensus, group management, leader election, and presence protocols.

Usage

Currently just load this as a new project in Eclipse. You will need to download ZooKeeper and add the zookeeper and log4j jars into the Eclipse project. I’m currently building against the 3.2.x release of ZooKeeper.
