I know that it's better that participants, controller and zookeeper will have separate java processes but we have more then 40 boxes with app server that we'd like to manage them with Helix Leader election and cannot add more processes because each additional java process requires management (monitoring, alarms, KPI, etc...), so we prefer to avoid the additional java processes. We'll not manage to approve additional processes
