Zookeeper is a unit where the information regarding configuration, naming and group services are stored. It is a centralized unit and using these information. Zookeeper maintains Hadoop as a Single Unit and is responsible for synchronization of Hadoop tasks. You can use hive or hbase for the same purpose if you have IOT data you can use kafka as well.
