Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-26158: ----------------------------------- No, you do not need to use mini zookeeper directly for most cases. HBTU will manage it for you. And what you describe above is you write code with both Kafka and HBase, I do not think this is the same with writing code inside the HBase code base. Still the same question, why not let Kafka to provide the ability to start a mini zookeeper cluster? Only HBase community needs to eat the dog food but Kafka community does not? > MiniZooKeeperCluster should not be IA.Public > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-26158 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26158 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: API, test > Reporter: Duo Zhang > Priority: Major > > End users do not need to test HBase when zookeeper is broken. And if users > want to start only a zookeeper cluster, they can just use curator-test, so I > do not think we should expose this class as IA.Public. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
