ZooKeeper cannot actually take care of a Zoo
--------------------------------------------
Key: ZOOKEEPER-357
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-357
Project: Zookeeper
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Benjamin Reed
Priority: Critical
Last week I setup an unattended ZooKeeper cluster that I expected to be able to
take care of things while I was on vacation. I used 7 dedicated servers with
two disks. I had done extensive burn in testing of the servers, so I fully
expected the system to work problem free for the entire week. Indeed, when I
returned yesterday none of the 7 servers had any hardware or software problem
the entire time nor had there been any network problems. On the other hand the
Zoo was in complete chaos. Even though there were no errors in the ZooKeeper
log most of the animals were near starvation, except for the lions who had
gotten loose and eaten some of the pigs. I'll not even go into the stench from
the dirty cages!
Either the documentation needs to more clearly explain how to configure the
server properly in the Zoo environment, or it should clearly state that
ZooKeeper cannot take care of the Zoo out of the box!
