Hey Inder, That's great news, you are exploring BookKeeper :-)
You have mentioned XML format files, I am not sure you will get the advantage in this format with BK in any case. Here BK support entry level write. It is like, you can write line by line append. It mainly fits for write ahead logging. I am not sure what is your use case exactly. Any application that requires an append storage can replace their implementations with BookKeeper. take a look at http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/trunk/bookkeeperOverview.html And for the other question: currently ~10 contributors are there for BookKeeper (from Ivan previous mail). New members are joining as well. We are using BookKeeper in NameNode HA. I feel it is healthy, doing many activities. It will grow infuture as well. See the Ivan's mail recently for board report :http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02451.html. Start contributing to BK http://zookeeper.apache.org/bookkeeper/ , if you have interest :-) Regards, Uma ________________________________ From: Inder.dev Java [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 11:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Exploring distributed BookKeeper to use in work flow for storing some state information HI, We have workflow kind system, here I came to know that BookKeeper is highly available storage system.
