Having done a project or two with Zookeeper, I vowed never to go near it again. To be fair, that was a couple of years ago, but between reading the source code and being able to quickly spot bugs, and an unstable and problematic NodeJS integration, I wound up doing more to keep code at arm's length from it than anything else (I ended up writing a small Java "lock server" backed by Zookeeper that used open HTTP connections as locks [the url was what to lock] that could be redundantly to several servers lock servers, so the Node code didn't have to know or care about Zookeeper).
It works, but I wouldn't use it again without a gun to my head. Another potentially interesting alternative I haven't used in production but will give a shot to the next time I need something like it is etcd: https://github.com/coreos/etcd -Tim On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 2:47 PM, Joshua M.
