Hi Abhilash, I don't think we can force ZK to create a snapshot right now, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13726951/force-zookeeper-to-generate-snapshot.
But there is a config option named snapCount to decide how many transactions stored in the transaction log file before a snapshot is generated. However, even with the same snapCount, ZK will deliberately avoid all ZK servers generating the snapshots at the same time. I think this is because this operation is expensive and may increase the latency. HTH, Zhewei -- Sent from: http://zookeeper-user.578899.n2.nabble.com/
