Key: ZOOKEEPER-703
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-703
Project: Zookeeper
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Henry Robinson
ZooKeeper DNS Server
Possible Mentor
Henry Robinson (henry at apache dot org)
Requirements
Java or Python or C
Description
Although ZooKeeper is primarily used for co-ordination of distributed
processes, its consistency semantics means that it's a good candidate for
serving small (key,value) records as well. The Domain Name Service has similar
requirements, raising the interesting question of whether ZooKeeper would be a
capable DNS server for your local network. One intriguing possibility is having
versioned DNS records, such that known-good configurations can be stored and
rolled back to in the case of an issue. If this versioning primitive proves to
be useful, it's easy to imagine other types of configuration that could be
stored.
This project would involve designing and building an RFC-1035 compliant DNS
server and performing a detailed performance study against an already existant
simple DNS server like tinydns.
