Michael Han commented on ZOOKEEPER-3108:
----------------------------------------

I think we can provide an option to move unique identifier of the server from 
myid file to zoo.cfg - thus avoiding creating myid file, but I don't feel this 
approach is much more convenient comparing to the current approach of putting 
the server id in myid file - the unique id still has to be created for each 
server it's just put into a different place. [~maoling] comments?

As others also mentioned, regardless of what additional options we are going to 
add, please keep the current myid approach. It would be a pain for those who 
operates ZK to upgrade if we just abandon the myid file completely. 

>  deprecated myid file and use a new property "server.id" in the zoo.cfg

> When use zk in distributional model,we need to touch a myid file in 
> dataDir.then write a unique number to it.It is inconvenient and not 
> user-friendly,Look at an example from other distribution system such as 
> kafka:it just uses broker.id=0 in the server.properties to indentify a unique 
> server node.This issue is going to abandon the myid file and use a new 
> property such as server.id=0 in the zoo.cfg. this fix will be applied to 
> master branch,branch-3.5+,
> keep branch-3.4 unchaged.
