Flavio Junqueira commented on ZOOKEEPER-1001:
---------------------------------------------
Agreed, one main difficulty with updating ZK from bookies is that no bookie
alone has all the information about a ledger, and bookies don't communicate
with regular read/write protocol.
> Read from open ledger

> The BookKeeper client currently does not allow a client to read from an open
> ledger. That is, if the creator of a ledger is still writing to it (and the
> ledger is not closed), then an attempt to open the same ledger for reading
> will execute the code to recover the ledger, assuming that the ledger has not
> been correctly closed.
> It seems that there are applications that do require the ability to read from
> a ledger while it is being written to, and the main goal of this jira is to
> discuss possible implementations of this feature.
