ZooKeeper’s raison d’etre is distributed coordination. Have a look at Apache Curator (http://curator.apache.org) for usage examples.

Currently we have a cluster of machines running a single application. The cluster performs various background tasks and we have a hacky, home-grown solution for the nodes in the cluster to coordinate with each other to perform these background tasks. It's very error-prone and we're looking to replace it. Would Zookeeper be a good fit for coordinating something like this? If so, are there any lightweight examples out there we could look at it? Thanks very much! Phil
