Broker List vs Zookeeper

2013-04-24 Thread Karl Kirch 
Any advice on using a static broker list vs using zookeeper? I keep having fits 
with keeping things stable with zookeeper involved (i.e. dropped connections).

If I use a static broker list do I still get failover if a broker goes down? 
(i.e. 1 broker goes down, will my producers still try to send message to it?)

Thanks,
Karl

Typically, if you use broker list, you will set up a VIP in a load balancer
in front of all brokers.
