Hi Vijay, Unfortunately you wont be able to keep running the observer in the other DC if the quorum in the DC 1 is dead. Most of the folks we have talked to also want to avoid voiting across colos. They usually run two instances of Zookeeper in 2 DC's and copy state of zookeeper (using a bridge) across colos to keep them in sync. Usually the data requirement across colos is very small and they are usually able to do that by copying data across with there own bridge process.
Hope that helps.
