ZooKeeper Reviews & Product Details

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

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

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

This is the best tool to create the kafka topics and inspect the kafka messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no downside to zookeeper. Its functionality is well-built to do the operations with the kafka Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zookeeper used for synchronisation and coordination of the services within distributed systems on the Microservice Architecture. It helps the system to be robust over fault tolerance and highly resilient with its key features such as leader election, failover, and recovery. It's easy to implement as it's built on top of Java.

It is limited in handling the cross clusters and it's not highly scalable. 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.

Easy to integrate with other services in any cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Znode leak issues, sometimes we found in clusters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

When we want to scale thing beyond 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.

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.

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.

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.

Ensures robust coordination, scalability, and reliability in distributed systems, simplifying complex tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Steeper learning curve, potential complexity, and resource-intensive nature may pose challenges for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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 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.

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.
