> We recently ran into an issue where two zookeepers servers which were a part
> of two separate quorums were configured to use the same data directory.
> Interestingly, the zookeeper servers did not seem to complain and both seemed
> to work fine until one of them was restarted. Once that happened all sort of
> chaos ensued. I understand that this is a misconfiguration should zookeeper
> complain about this or do users need to protect themselves in some external
> fashion? Is a simple file lock enough or are there other things I should
> take into consideration if it’s up to me to handle?
