> In Chapter 2, section 2.5 "ZooKeeper" under "How many ZooKeepers should I
> run?" there is the sentence
> *There can be no quorum if the number of members is an even number.*
> This is not true. In ZooKeeper, an even number of peers is supported, but it
> is normally not used because an even sized ensemble requires, proportionally,
> more peers to form a quorum than an odd sized ensemble requires. For example,
> an ensemble with 4 peers requires 3 to form a quorum, while an ensemble with
> 5 also requires 3 to form a quorum. Thus, an ensemble of 5 allows 2 peers to
> fail, and thus is more fault tolerant than the ensemble of 4, which allows
> only 1 down peer.
