RE: cleanup ZK takes 40-60 seconds
how big is your database? it would be good to know the timing of the two calls. shutdown should take very little time. sent from my droid -Original Message- From: Vishal K [vishalm...@gmail.com] Received: 7/16/10 6:31 PM To: zookeeper-user@hadoop.apache.org [zookeeper-u...@hadoop.apache.org] Subject: cleanup ZK takes 40-60 seconds Hi, We have embedded ZK server in our application. We start a thread in our application and call QuorumPeerMain.InitializeArgs(). When cleaning-up ZK we call QuorumPeerMain.shutdown() and wait for the thread that is calling InitializeArgs() to finish. These two steps are taking around 60 seconds. I could probably not wait for InitializeArgs() to finish and that might speed up things. However, I am not sure why the cleanup should take such a long time. Can anyone comment on this? Thanks. -Vishal
Re: cleanup ZK takes 40-60 seconds
I can't comment on the cleanup time, but I can suggest that it is normally not a very good idea to embed Zookeeper in your application. If your application really is distributed, then having ZK survive the demise of any particular instance is a really nice thing. If ZK goes away with your application then you lose a lot of the power of having a reliable and independent coordination service. I have, as they say, been there and done that. It was not a happy experience. You know what you are doing much more than I possibly could, so embedding ZK might actually make sense. I really don't think so, though.
