Zookeeper Tutorial

ZooKeeper is a distributed co-ordination service to manage large set of hosts. Co-ordinating and managing a service in a distributed environment is a complicated process. ZooKeeper solves this issue with its simple architecture and API. ZooKeeper allows developers to focus on core application logic without worrying about the distributed nature of the application.

The ZooKeeper framework was originally built at ¿Yahoo!¿ for accessing their applications in an easy and robust manner. Later, Apache ZooKeeper became a standard for organized service used by Hadoop, HBase, and other distributed frameworks. For example, Apache HBase uses ZooKeeper to track the status of distributed data. This tutorial explains the basics of ZooKeeper, how to install and deploy a ZooKeeper cluster in a distributed environment, and finally concludes with a few examples using Java programming and sample applications.

This tutorial has been prepared for professionals aspiring to make a career in Big Data Analytics using ZooKeeper framework. It will give you enough understanding on how to use ZooKeeper to create distributed clusters.

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you must have a good understanding of Java because the ZooKeeper server runs on JVM, distributed process, and Linux environment.
