Amanuel Mekonnen commented on KAFKA-1793:
-----------------------------------------

I think this issue seems more relevant now Zookeeper is being edged out by Consul and etcd

> It would simplify our deployment infrastructure if we could reuse our current service discovery and distributed configuration system (Consul) instead of requiring a separate ZK installation. 
> I looked through the code and it looks like ZK code (specifically zkClient), is scattered throughout the codebase. 
> It would be nice if any distributed coordination code that used ZK was behind a single (or set of) API. It would then hopefully be straightforward to provide a replacement implementation for that API. The implementing class could be specified in the config.
> One potential benefit would be the ability to provide implementations for different versions of ZK. 
> Is there any interest in having this feature available?
