I’ve heard of it, but not had a chance to use it yet.



The only caveat I see is 
https://github.com/coreos/etcd/blob/master/Documentation/production-ready.md


Hence, a choice of ZK vs. etcd comes down to the following (from 
https://github.com/coreos/etcd ):


Do the use cases:


1/ Require to handle use cases that Zookeeper Atomic Broadcast (ZAB) protocol 
doesn’t? etcd uses Raft.
2/ Require the acclaimed “1000s of writes/s per instance”…in other words, the 
use cases you have in mind may  outgrow ZK’s throughput


The advantage of ZK is its longer history in production (and hence, more bugs 
worked out of that system). There is a non-trivial value in that.


In other words, tradeoffs, tradeoffs :)

Has anyone looked at etcd? It is part of the CoreOS project but seems to
be useable independently. It is an alternative to ZooKeeper.
