I see a lot of fuzz about jetty-no-sql session storage, but little
about ZK as the storage for jetty sessions.
The Jetty NoSql session storage is based on MogoDB.
I thought about using ZooKeeper for Jetty sessions storage as well but
ZooKeeper has some limitations which didn't make it a first-class
choice. The most significant one is the 1MB limit. Well, one can argue
that a 1MB session is probably already too heavy but I've learned that
once you offer developers the benefit of a session, they'll throw a lot
stuff init. Especially when a session is used more as a local cache it
should really be not stored in ZooKeeper but it some other central
memory store like Memcache or Redis.
Also, remember that session updates would mean writes in ZooKeeper.
Thus, too frequent session updates would mean a serious effect on the
overall system scalability because you then depend on the ZooKeeper
cluster (its master and a majority) to flush stuff to disc.
