Adding to a quorum
Say I have a quorum of four ZooKeeper servers. Is there any way I can add a
fifth ZooKeeper to the quorum without interrupting the service? I see some
work on making it easy
here<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-107>and
here<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/ClusterMembership>,
but I'm wondering if there's currently any way to do it at all. Would it
work to start up the fifth pointing to all of the others, then one-by-one
restart the others, updating their configuration to include the fifth?

It would work fine. Start the new server first. Then update the two existing servers.
This shouldn't occur, however, because you don't normally have an even number

Ted: Thanks for the answer. The quorum of four servers was hypothetical;
our business has not incorporated ZooKeeper yet.
Also, I would imagine that this solution wouldn't work for two servers,
because we'd lose the quorum?
Jordan: Thanks for the link, that looks like it'll be very helpful.

FYI - have a look at our Exhibitor system which makes upgrades/additions
easier to manage.

Yes. Updating and restarting works fine.
One does wonder why you have *four* servers now. That generally doesn't
provide any advantage over having three servers.
