> We need ops documentation detailing what to do if the ZK server VM fails - by fail I mean the jvm process
> exits/dies/crashes/etc...
> In general a supervisor process should be used to start/stop/restart/etc... the ZK server vm.
> Something like daemontools http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html could be used, or more simply a wrapper script
> should monitor the status of the pid and restart if the jvm fails. It's up to the operator, if this is not done
> automatically then it will have to be done manually, by operator restarting the ZK server jvm
> The inherent behavior of ZK wrt to failures - ie that it automatically recovers as long as quorum is maintained - 
> fits into this nicely.
