Hi,

I have a question regarding this part of the Observers Guide 
(https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.4.11/zookeeperObservers.html):
"As a link to a message bus : [...] Observers would give a natural integration 
point for this work: a plug-in mechanism could be used to attach the stream of 
proposals an Observer sees to a publish-subscribe system"

I've not been able to find such a plug-in mechanism in the source code of 
ZooKeeper. For the moment the only integration point I can think of is the 
commitRequest method of the  
org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.ObserverZooKeeperServer class. Am I looking 
in the right direction?

To be honest: this is for the moment only pure curiosity since Apache Kafka 
seems to be a more "natural" and out-of-the-box option for an ordered message 
bus. However since I might probably need ZooKeeper for its distributed lock and 
leader election features, I was wondering if I could use it as an ordered 
message bus as well.

Best regards,

Bruno.
