With our design we end up building out a stand alone zookeeper cluster 3 nodes. Zookeeper seems to be the default dumping ground for many Apache based products these days. You will eventually see many services and frameworks require a zk instance for leader election, coordination, Kv store etc.. I've seen situations where the masters can become extremely busy and cause performance problem with Zk which can be huge issue for mesos. Sent from Outlook Mobile

Is it best practice to run zookeeper/exhibitor as a separate cluster (in our case, three nodes) or on the same machines as the mesos masters? I understand the drawbacks of increased cost for compute resources that will just be running a single service and most of the reference docs have them running together, but just wondering if it's beneficial to have them uncoupled.
