It has been a process that has been evolving. We originally started with the
mysql, then dropped this as it did not satisfy cases when a different DB was
used. We then used memcached which was a disaster. The CPU of process/threads
that would take a lock would spike and this killed the system performance. We
then did a successful POC with redis and zookeeper. The result of that had us
leaning towards zookeeper. All of this was done prior to the addition of the
etcd driver.
In short we are leaning towards zookeeper as that has show the best results
with stability and performance.
Thanks
