hi, Could you please help to understand the following setup: we have two datacenters and want to setup ZK cluster so it will use servers (ZK servers not clients) in both: like 3 ZK servers in DC1 and 4 ZK servers in DC2. We sometime do maintenance in one or other DC. So ZK will completely lose replicas in one of the DC for several hours. E.g. if DC2 is under maintenance ZK will have only 3 out of 7 nodes and these 3 nodes supposed to receive writes.
The questions: 1) is it Ok for ZK to have such setup? 2) will ZK catch up after losing 4 Servers and getting them back in some time? (this will be a majority actually :) ) 3) what is right number of nodes, is 5 sufficient : 2 + 3? Latency between DCs is pretty low (DCs are close to each other). Thank you for any advice. -Denis
