Curious to know what the daemon was written.. ie is this in python using kazoo (reimplementation of zkprotocol from scratch) or the buggy libzookeeper c client library.. or java (the only reliable official client sadly, and really for devs that often means netflix's wrapper around the java client).<p>zookeeper is nice.. and well known, battle tested, and a pita on devops (no dynamic reconfig till 3.5), and devs. a pain to interact with at reliable scale outside of native java clients, oh.. and the zk src.. cyclomatic complexity and npath complexity on large scales.<p>i keep hoping for something like etcd (raft + rest) can bring simplicity and ease of cross-language use for distributed coordination to the many.
This boggles the mind. Zk was so unreliable they threw out its fundamental guarantees and went to flat files mediated by a proxy daemon which talked to zk? What?
