  213. <p>This document contains information to get you started quickly with
  214. Zookeeper. It is aimed primarily at developers hoping to try it out, and
  215. contains simple installation instructions for a single ZooKeeper server, a
  216. few commands to verify that it is running, and a simple programming
  217. example. Finally, as a convenience, there are a few sections regarding
  218. more complicated installations, for example running replicated
  219. deployments, and optimizing the transaction log. However for the complete
  220. instructions for commercial deployments, please refer to the <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html">Zookeeper
  221. Administrator's Guide</a>.</p>
  222. <a name="N10016"></a><a name="sc_InstallingSingleMode"></a>
  223. <h3 class="h4">Installing and Running ZooKeeper in Single Server Mode</h3>
  224. <p>Setting up a ZooKeeper server in standalone mode is
  225. straightforward. The server is contained in a single JAR file, so
  226. installation consists of copying a JAR file and creating a
  227. configuration.</p>
  228. <div class="note">
  229. <div class="label">Note</div>
  230. <div class="content">
  231. <p>Zookeeper requires Java 1.5 or more recent.</p>
  232. </div>
  233. </div>
  234. <p>Once you have downloaded the ZooKeeper source, cd to the root of
  235. your ZooKeeper source, and run "ant jar". For example:</p>
  236. <pre class="code">
  237. $ cd ~/dev/zookeeper
  238. $ ~/dev/zookeeper/: ant jar
  239. </pre>
  240. <p>This should generate a JAR file called zookeeper.jar. To start
  241. Zookeeper, compile and run zookeeper.jar.</p>
  242. <p>To start ZooKeeper you need a configuration file. Here is a sample
  243. file:</p>
  244. <pre class="code">
  245. tickTime=2000
  246. dataDir=/var/zookeeper/
  247. clientPort=2181
  248. </pre>
  249. <p>This file can be called anything, but for the sake of this
  250. discussion, call it <strong>zoo.cfg</strong>. Here are
  251. the meanings for each of the fields:</p>
  252. <dl>
  253. <dt>
  254. <term>
  255. <strong>tickTime</strong>
  256. </term>
  257. </dt>
  258. <dd>
  259. <p>the basic time unit in milliseconds used by ZooKeeper. It is
  260. used to do heartbeats and the minimum session timeout will be
  261. twice the tickTime.</p>
  262. </dd>
  263. </dl>
  264. <dl>
  265. <dt>
  266. <term>
  267. <strong>dataDir</strong>
  268. </term>
  269. </dt>
  270. <dd>
  271. <p>the location to store the in-memory database snapshots and,
  272. unless specified otherwise, the transaction log of updates to the
  273. database.</p>
  274. </dd>
  275. <dt>
  276. <term>
  277. <strong>clientPort</strong>
  278. </term>
  279. </dt>
  280. <dd>
  281. <p>the port to listen for client connections</p>
  282. </dd>
  283. </dl>
  284. <p>Now that you created the configuration file, you can start
  285. ZooKeeper:</p>
  286. <pre class="code">java -cp zookeeper-dev.jar:java/lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar:conf org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerMain zoo.cfg</pre>
  287. <p>ZooKeeper logs messages using log4j -- more detail available in
  288. the <a href="zookeeperProgrammers.html#Logging">Logging</a>
  289. section of the Programmer's Guide.<em>[tbd:
  290. real reference needed]</em> You will see log messages coming to the
  291. console and/or a log file depending on the log4j configuration.</p>
  292. <p>The steps outlined here run ZooKeeper in standalone mode. There is
  293. no replication, so if Zookeeper process fails, the service will go down.
  294. This is fine for most development situations, but to run Zookeeper in
  295. replicated mode, please see <a href="#sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper">Running Replicated
  296. Zookeeper</a>.</p>
  297. <p></p>
  298. <a name="N10072"></a><a name="sc_ConnectingToZooKeeper"></a>
  299. <h3 class="h4">Connecting to ZooKeeper</h3>
  300. <p>Once ZooKeeper is running, you have several option for connection
  301. to it:</p>
  302. <ul>
  303. <li>
  304. <p>
  305. <strong>Java</strong>: Use java -cp
  306. zookeeper.jar:java/lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar:conf
  307. org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeperMain 127.0.0.1:2181</p>
  308. <p>This lets you perform simple, file-like operations.</p>
  309. </li>
  310. <li>
  311. <p>
  312. <strong>C</strong>: compile cli_mt
  313. (multi-threaded) or cli_st (single-threaded) by running
  314. <span class="codefrag command">make cli_mt</span> or <span class="codefrag command">make cli_st</span>
  315. in the c subdirectory in the ZooKeeper sources.</p>
  316. <p>You can run the program using <em>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
  317. cli_mt 127.0.0.1:2181</em> or <em>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
  318. cli_st 127.0.0.1:2181</em>. This will give you a simple shell
  319. to execute file system like operations on ZooKeeper.</p>
  320. </li>
  321. </ul>
  322. <a name="N100A3"></a><a name="sc_ProgrammingToZooKeeper"></a>
  323. <h3 class="h4">Programming to ZooKeeper</h3>
  324. <p>ZooKeeper has a Java bindings and C bindings. They are
  325. functionally equivalent. The C bindings exist in two variants: single
  326. threaded and multi-threaded. These differ only in how the messaging loop
  327. is done. For more information, see the <a href="zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_programStructureWithExample.html">Programming
  328. Examples in the Zookeeper Programmer's Guide</a> for
  329. sample code using of the different APIs.</p>
  330. <a name="N100B1"></a><a name="sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper"></a>
  331. <h3 class="h4">Running Replicated ZooKeeper</h3>
  332. <p>Running ZooKeeper in standalone mode is convenient for evaluation,
  333. some development, and testing. But in production, you should run
  334. ZooKeeper in replicated mode. A replicated group of servers in the same
  335. application is called a <em>quorum</em>, and in replicated
  336. mode, all servers in the quorum have copies of the same configuration
  337. file. The file is similar to the one used in standalone mode, but with a
  338. few differences. Here is an example:</p>
  339. <pre class="code">
  340. tickTime=2000
  341. dataDir=/var/zookeeper/
  342. clientPort=2181
  343. initLimit=5
  344. syncLimit=2
  345. server.1=zoo1:2888
  346. server.2=zoo2:2888
  347. server.3=zoo3:2888
  348. </pre>
  349. <p>The new entry, <strong>initLimit</strong> is
  350. timeouts ZooKeeper uses to limit the length of time the Zookeeper
  351. servers in quorum have to connect to a leader. The entry <strong>syncLimit</strong> limits how far out of date a server can
  352. be from a leader.</p>
  353. <p>With both of these timeouts, you specify the unit of time using
  354. <strong>tickTime</strong>. In this example, the timeout
  355. for initLimit is 5 ticks at 2000 milleseconds a tick, or 10
  356. seconds.</p>
  357. <p>The entries of the form <em>server.X</em> list the
  358. servers that make up the ZooKeeper service. When the server starts up,
  359. it knows which server it is by looking for the file *myid* in the data
  360. directory. That file has the contains the server number, in
  361. ASCII.</p>
  362. <p>Finally, note the "2888" port numbers after each server name.
  363. These are the "electionPort" numbers of the servers (as opposed to
  364. clientPorts), that is ports for <em>[tbd]</em>.</p>
  365. <div class="note">
  366. <div class="label">Note</div>
  367. <div class="content">
  368. <p>If you want to test multiple servers on a single machine, define
  369. the electionPort for each server in that server's config file, using
  370. the line <span class="codefrag command">electionPort=xxxx</span> as means of avoiding
  371. clashes.</p>
  372. </div>
  373. </div>
  374. <a name="N100E6"></a><a name="Other+Optimizations"></a>
  375. <h3 class="h4">Other Optimizations</h3>
  376. <p>There are a couple of other configuration parameters that can
  377. greatly increase performance:</p>
  378. <ul>
  379. <li>
  380. <p>To get low latencies on updates it is important to have a
  381. dedicated transaction log directory. By default transaction logs are
  382. put in the same directory as the data snapshots and *myid* file. The
  383. dataLogDir parameters indicates a different directory to use for the
  384. transaction logs.</p>
  385. </li>
  386. <li>
