Amanuel Mekonnen commented on KAFKA-1793:
-----------------------------------------
I think this issue seems more relevant now Zookeeper is being edged out by
Consul and etcd
> Allow replacing ZooKeeper with a different distributed coordination system
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1793
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1793
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: replication
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Paul Lorenz
> Assignee: Neha Narkhede
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would simplify our deployment infrastructure if we could reuse our current
> service discovery and distributed configuration system (Consul) instead of
> requiring a separate ZK installation.
> I looked through the code and it looks like ZK code (specifically zkClient),
> is scattered throughout the codebase.
> It would be nice if any distributed coordination code that used ZK was behind
> a single (or set of) API. It would then hopefully be straightforward to
> provide a replacement implementation for that API. The implementing class
> could be specified in the config.
> One potential benefit would be the ability to provide implementations for
> different versions of ZK.
> Is there any interest in having this feature available?
