Using ZooKeeper for Configuration Managment

[Ohad Ben Porat <oh...@outbrain.com>]

Hey



I am a newbie to ZooKeeper and be happy if someone could link me to a good example how ZooKeeper can be used for configuration management?



Thanks.

Config management and group membership are two of the simplest use cases 
for ZK, we don't have a "recipe" here as it's pretty basic (not that we 
couldn't/shouldn't)

The java example in our docs is pretty close, it sets a watch on a node 
and monitors for changes. This is the typical pattern for CM.

Also:
Tom White's excellent book on Hadoop does a great job covering ZooKeeper 
in chapter 13, it's available on safaribooks or for purchase if that 
works for you:
