如果其他人可以举出实时示例，那么zookeeper是否仅用于kafka？

Question

While I am creating cluster setup for kafka I came to know zookeeper quorum set up is needed for coordination between kafka brokers.

Are there any other scenarios where we use zookeeper other than only for kafka setup in real time?

Answer 1

This link lists many applications and organisations using ZooKeeper https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.6.2/zookeeperUseCases.html

ZooKeeper is used with many Apache projects and is a distributed coordination service used to manage a large set of hosts. In simple terms, Zookeeper allows workers to get on with their jobs and handles all the other complexities ie if a leader goes down, alerting the workers, electing a new leader etc.

Think of a project manager / scrum master at work handling the management of tasks whilst you complete the tasks :D
