Mahadev konar commented on ZOOKEEPER-866:
-----------------------------------------

Thomas, we have spent the last 3 years optimizing the throughput and latency of 
zookeeper. I think we have reach the point of minimal returns with this. I 
agree on the usability front you do have a point. But making it usable is 
orthogonal to what I propose over here. Both can take different directions. I 
am just trying to open a new area of usage for zookeeper. Does that make sense ?

> Adding no disk persistence option in zookeeper.

> Its been seen that some folks would like to use zookeeper for very fine 
> grained locking. Also, in there use case they are fine with loosing all old 
> zookeeper state if they reboot zookeeper or zookeeper goes down. The use case 
> is more of a runtime locking wherein forgetting the state of locks is 
> acceptable in case of a zookeeper reboot. Not logging to disk allows high 
> throughput on and low latency on the writes to zookeeper. This would be a 
> configuration option to set (ofcourse the default would be logging to disk).
