ZooKeeper: A Distributed Coordination Service for Distributed Applications
|
|
|
|
ZooKeeper is a distributed, open-source coordination service for
|
|
distributed applications. It exposes a simple set of primitives that
|
|
distributed applications can build upon to implement higher level
|
|
services for synchronization, configuration maintenance, and groups
|
|
and naming. It is designed to be easy to program to, and uses a data
|
|
model styled after the familiar directory tree structure of file
|
|
systems. It runs in Java and has bindings for both Java and C.
|
|
|
|
Coordination services are notoriously hard to get right. They are
|
|
especially prone to errors such as race conditions and deadlock. The
|
|
motivation behind ZooKeeper is to relieve distributed applications the
|
|
responsibility of implementing coordination services from scratch.
