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. > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-866 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-866 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Mahadev konar > Assignee: Mahadev konar > Fix For: 3.4.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-nodisk.patch > > > 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). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
