I've never used ZooKeeper in production, so pardon my ignorance, but everytime I see a project using it I get a little bit turned off because it seems like alot of extra complexity and another SPOF. Can anyone share their experiences?
ZooKeeper is actually a proven technology for solving distributed configuration. It's widely used by Yahoo! and Netflix among other large companies. It's a proven PAXOS-like implementation, and definitely isn't a single point of failure. Check it out!
