Hi,
Thanks for your response.
Our application consists of 8 automatic vehicles in a warehouse setting. Those
vehicles need some consensus decisions, and that is what we use Zookeeper for.
Because vehicles can come and go at random, we installed a ZK participant on
every vehicle. The ZK client is some other piece of software that is also
running on the vehicles.
Therefor :
- We can not choose the number of ZK-participants because it just
depends on the number of vehicles.
- The participants communicate over Wifi
- The client is running on the same machine, so it communicates over
the local network
We are running Zookeeper version 3.4.6
Our zoo.cfg can be found below this e-mail.
Thanks in advance !
