Introduction
Apache ZooKeeper is a fundamental infrastructure in modern distributed systems. As a high-performance distributed coordination service, it provides reliable primitives for large-scale distributed applications. From Hadoop Ecosystem to microservices architecture, from Container Orchestration to distributed message queues, ZooKeeper's applications are ubiquitous.
Through 14 carefully designed chapters, we will explore the source code implementation of ZooKeeper 3.8.x. Starting from Environment Setup, we'll adopt a bottom-up analysis approach, from Basic Components to Core Algorithms, comprehensively analyzing this distributed coordination service's engineering practices.
