These are discussed here: http://oss.101tec.com/jira/browse/KATTA-43
The basic design consideration is that failure of a node needs to automagically
update the ZK state accordingly. This allows all important updates to files to
go one direction as well.

We actually started out that way... (when a node went down there wasn't really
any trace it ever existed) but have been moving away from it.
ZK may not just be a reflection of the cluster but may also control certain
aspects of the cluster that you want persistent. For example, marking a node
as "disabled" (i.e. don't use it). One could create APIs on the node to enable
and disable and have that reflected in ZK, but it seems like more work than
simply saying "change this znode".

> Fix For: 1.5

>
> Though we're implementing cloud, I need something real soon I can
> play with and deploy. So this'll be a patch that only deploys
> new cores, and that's about it. The arch is real simple:
> On Zookeeper there'll be a directory that contains files that
> represent the state of the cores of a given set of servers which
> will look like the following:
> /production/cores-1.txt
> /production/cores-2.txt
> /production/core-host-1-actual.txt (ephemeral node per host)
> Where each core-N.txt file contains:
> hostname,corename,instanceDir,coredownloadpath
> coredownloadpath is a URL such as file://, http://, hftp://, hdfs://, ftp://,
> etc
> and
> core-host-actual.txt contains:
> hostname,corename,instanceDir,size
> Everytime a new core-N.txt file is added, the listening host
> finds it's entry in the list and begins the process of trying to
> match the entries. Upon completion, it updates it's
> /core-host-1-actual.txt file to it's completed state or logs an error.
> When all host actual files are written (without errors), then a
> new core-1-actual.txt file is written which can be picked up by
> another process that can create a new core proxy.
