Examples of Powerful Primitives by Zookeeper API

Discover how to use the Zookeeper API to build essential distributed coordination primitives including configuration management, group membership tracking, and different lock implementations. Understand the role of ephemeral and sequential znodes for reliable distributed system operations and how to avoid the herd effect with lock management.

The Zookeeper API can be used to build powerful primitives. Some examples are as follows:

Configuration management

Zookeeper’s API can configure management simply by publishing the node with some configuration information. Create a znode zcz_c and write the configuration as the znode’s data.

The znode’s path is provided to the other nodes of the system, which obtain the configuration by reading zcz_c ...
