Of late I have been bombarding this list with questions and am getting a little frustrated at my lack of understanding of ZooKeeper. I am up against deadlines that look infeasible now. :(
Anyway, having majorly failed to get going with 3.5.0 (you might see a question earlier today), I decided, for the purposes of a PoC to create a static 3.4.6 configuration. Say, create max 3 VMs, of which 2 are always up. Initially 1 and 2 would be up. I would be listing 3 servers in the config - server.1 through server.3. I brought up the servers on 1 and 2 in that order using "zkServer.sh start-foreground". However they failed to connect and form a quorum and the foreground server process showed an increasing timeout. Then I brought up 3 at which point 2 and 3 were able to connect. Next I started zkCli.sh from 1 - it failed to connect to any box. However the ones on 2 and 3 connected neatly. I am at a little loss to explain this. Need help. Thanks. Arindam
