Installing and configuring ZooKeeper

The following is the step-by-step process to download, install, and configure ZooKeeper:

1. The download link for ZooKeeper is http://apache.mirrors.lucidnetworks.net/zookeeper/.

   So, let's download the latest release of ZooKeeper using the following command:

   wget http://apache.mirrors.lucidnetworks.net/zookeeper/stable/zookeeper-3.4.6.tar.gz
   

2. Extract it as follows:

   tar –xvzfzookeeper-3.4.6.tar.gz
   

3. Rename this file for an easy naming convention:

   mv zookeeper-3.4.6.tar.gz zookeeper
   

4. Move it to a desired location:

   mv zookeeper ~/hbinaries/
   cd ~/hbinaries/zookeeper/conf
   vim zoo.cfg
   

5. Now, add the following lines:

   dataDir=/mnt/disk1/zookeeperData#Assuming the layout of the reader's filesystem>
   tickTime=2000
   clientPort=2181 ...
