Hi Loannis, We started on zkclient since it was kind of standard at LinkedIn, quickly we realized the limitations in it and we kind of have extended it within Helix to make use of all features of Zookeeper( I did try contacting the author of zkclient to make changes but dint hear back). But to be fair to zkclient, even though its not rich in features set what ever is implemented is bug free. We have used it in production for a long time and havent found any fatal bugs.
Our plan is to eventually get rid of zkclient and use zookeeper client directly. Helix is heavily optimized in terms of performance and using any of zookeeper client wrappers restricts us from taking full advantage of the zookeeper api's. Hope this helps Thanks, Kishore G On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 1:18 PM, Ioannis Canellos <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > It seems that Helix is using https://github.com/sgroschupf/zkclient, > right? > Even though I see some activity on the project, there are some comments in > the pull requests page that the project is not actively maintained. > > So I was wondering if this is true and if there are any plans on switching > to a different zookeeper client, like curator or linkedin-zookeeper. > > -- > *Ioannis Canellos* > * > > ** > Blog: http://iocanel.blogspot.com > ** > Twitter: iocanel > * > > >
