What problems is ZooKeeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps for me in providing redundancy and high availability for my Kafka satellites. And because of helping me up and running my Kafka brokers, zookeeper helped me a lot. And it acts as a leader relation across all the partitions and always tells all the replicas to act as partition leaders in order to fulfill the duties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to get "Consensus as a service" in a distributed system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZooKeeper?

So far never hit any big limitations in Zookeeper. I'm aware that nowadays there are more modern solutions that allow service discovery and other fancy stuff but if this is not a big requirement, I might even prefer Zookeeper, do one thing (or a smaller subset of things) and do it well and reliably.
