Building distributed applications is difficult enough without having to coordinate the actions that make them work. This practical guide shows how Apache ZooKeeper helps you manage distributed systems, so you can focus mainly on application logic. Even with ZooKeeper, implementing coordination tasks is not trivial, but this book provides good practices to give you a head start, and points out caveats that developers and administrators alike need to watch for along the way.
In three separate sections, ZooKeeper contributors Flavio Junqueira and Benjamin Reed introduce the principles of distributed systems, provide ZooKeeper programming techniques, and include the information you need to administer this service.

ZooKeeper: Distributed Process Coordination
Felis silvestris silvestrisWhat's the animal featured on the cover?
The animal on the cover of ZooKeeper is a European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris), a subspecies of the wildcat that inhabits the forests and grasslands of Europe, as well as Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains.
Similar in size to a large domestic cat, the European wildcat has a broader head, longish fur, and a shorter, blunted tail—white patches are often found on the throat, chest, and abdomen. The staple diet for the majority of European wildcats is made up of small rodents such as wood mice, pine voles, water voles, and shrews. Interestingly, at odds with domesticated cats’ love of fish, wildcats rarely prey on fish in the wild.
The European wildcat was once found throughout Europe and is considered by some to be the oldest form of the species—limited fossil records indicate an ancestral link to wildcats dating back to the Early Pleistocene period. During the past 300 years, the range of the European wildcat, through pressures brought about by hunting and the spread of human population, has been significantly reduced.
