Brett Eisenberg commented on ZOOKEEPER-485: ------------------------------------------- FWIW, Zookeeper works great under SMF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Management_Facility) > need ops documentation that details supervision of ZK server processes > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-485 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation, server > Reporter: Patrick Hunt > Fix For: 3.2.1, 3.3.0 > > > We need ops documentation detailing what to do if the ZK server VM fails - by > fail I mean the jvm process > exits/dies/crashes/etc... > In general a supervisor process should be used to start/stop/restart/etc... > the ZK server vm. > Something like daemontools http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html could be used, or > more simply a wrapper script > should monitor the status of the pid and restart if the jvm fails. It's up to > the operator, if this is not done > automatically then it will have to be done manually, by operator restarting > the ZK server jvm > The inherent behavior of ZK wrt to failures - ie that it automatically > recovers as long as quorum is maintained - > fits into this nicely. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
