I just noticed that there is an option to not use Zookeeper and instead
one can use a static list of brokers (#9 on
http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/quickstart.html). Do i put this list
in server.properties?
It doesn't seem like you save much either way as you have to either
a) list out all the nodes in the zookeeper quorum in zookeeper.properties
b) list out static brokers in server.properties.
What are the benefits of using ZooKeeper over a static list? Can
someone also explain how Kafka uses ZooKeeper?
Thanks
