We are planning a ZooKeeper deployment, but are struggling with some aspects of our current architecture. We have two data centers; most applications use load balancing between the two data centers to ensure redundancy for disaster recovery etc. ZooKeeper has been challenging for us, because we can't quite figure out how to structure our servers. We aren't starting with lots of clients, so 3 servers should be a good fit initially. However, if we put two servers in one datacenter, and one server in the other, we're setup for a quorum failure if we have a power outage at the datacenter with two boxes. Short of setting up a third data center for our division, what options do we have for deploying ZooKeeper effectively, with disaster recovery in mind etc. Thanks!
