"Great in managing my distributed services"
What do you like best about ZooKeeper?

I find ZooKeeper apt for distributed cluster management. It solves our problem of letting th team know of our services, when they are available, their location, etc. The main pro is it is quite reliable and we rely it on for consitent data.

There's a lot of online and open source support available, making it is easy to use and setup, infact we can easily assign it to an intern as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

Not much, but at times I feel it will be better if we could switch services without a full-reinstalltion, and also migration was possible at ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zookeeper in Microservice Architecture"
What do you like best about ZooKeeper?

Zookeeper used for synchronisation and coordination of the services with in distributed systems on the Micro service Architecture . It helps the system to be robust over fault tolerance and highly resilient with its key features such as leader election, fail over and recovery. It's easy to implement as it's built on top of java . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

It is limited in handling the cross clusters and it's not highly scable. Also the main problem is it's having many dependencies which will be hard to maintain for the client service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zookeeper is great at few things and it's not at some"

If the solutions are focused at mid level scaling example 1000 partitions we are good with zookeper. It's manageable, well used and have good industry wide experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

When we want to scale thing beyon 10000 partitions/broker things gets messy and and that's time I think zookeeper is not great!. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"reliable and highly available infrastructure for maintaining configuration information"
What do you like best about ZooKeeper?

enforces strong consistency guarantees. Any update made to a znode is propagated to all the servers in the ensemble before it is considered complete. This ensures that clients see a consistent view of the system and prevents data inconsistencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

performance may not scale as well as desired in certain use cases.Setting up and configuring a ZooKeeper ensemble can be quite involved. It requires careful planning and coordination Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a robust and reliable infrastructure that enables seamless communication and coordination among the various components of a Kafka ecosystem. The ZooKeeper software ensures high availability, fault tolerance, and data consistency, making it an essential and trusted tool for managing Kafka clusters. Its ability to handle distributed coordination tasks efficiently and maintain system integrity is crucial for the smooth functioning of Kafka-based applications, ensuring reliable data streaming and processing at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

Increasing the scalability of the ZooKeeper software would allow it to handle larger Kafka clusters with a higher number of nodes and partitions. This improvement would ensure seamless performance even as the system grows in size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great open-sourced server for distributed coordination"
What do you like best about ZooKeeper?

Talking about pros, I would start with a great, active community. Zookeeper is an open-source project, which attracts a lot of people.

The second thing is that it's highly scalable, and can potentially support thousands of nodes.

The last part is a pretty simple API, which lets you not only use the endpoints by yourself, but also you can utilize a lot of ready libraries for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

Everything comes with a price, so on one hand we have great scalability, on the other - it requires a lot of resources. The other part is Zookeeper server ensemble - if it fails, everything stops working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zookeeper reduced our deployments by great extent"
What do you like best about ZooKeeper?

Zookeeper helps us in modifying our code attributes and experiment details in real-time, with zookeeper integration we no more have to rely on deployment for any small change we do. This has made our life very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

There should be way to file upload because if we have lot of values to add into zookeeper that takes a lot of time and is a manual process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
