  231. ZooKeeper</h2>
  232. <div class="section">
  233. <p>This document contains information to get you started quickly with
  234. ZooKeeper. It is aimed primarily at developers hoping to try it out, and
  235. contains simple installation instructions for a single ZooKeeper server, a
  236. few commands to verify that it is running, and a simple programming
  237. example. Finally, as a convenience, there are a few sections regarding
  238. more complicated installations, for example running replicated
  239. deployments, and optimizing the transaction log. However for the complete
  240. instructions for commercial deployments, please refer to the <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html">ZooKeeper
  241. Administrator's Guide</a>.</p>
  242. <a name="sc_Prerequisites"></a>
  243. <h3 class="h4">Pre-requisites</h3>
  244. <p>See <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_systemReq">
  245. System Requirements</a> in the Admin guide.</p>
  246. <a name="sc_Download"></a>
  247. <h3 class="h4">Download</h3>
  248. <p>To get a ZooKeeper distribution, download a recent
  249. <a href="http://zookeeper.apache.org/releases.html">
  250. stable</a> release from one of the Apache Download
  251. Mirrors.</p>
  252. <a name="sc_InstallingSingleMode"></a>
  253. <h3 class="h4">Standalone Operation</h3>
  254. <p>Setting up a ZooKeeper server in standalone mode is
  255. straightforward. The server is contained in a single JAR file,
  256. so installation consists of creating a configuration.</p>
  257. <p>Once you've downloaded a stable ZooKeeper release unpack
  258. it and cd to the root</p>
  259. <p>To start ZooKeeper you need a configuration file. Here is a sample,
  260. create it in <strong>conf/zoo.cfg</strong>:</p>
  261. <pre class="code">
  262. tickTime=2000
  263. dataDir=/var/lib/zookeeper
  264. clientPort=2181
  265. </pre>
  266. <p>This file can be called anything, but for the sake of this
  267. discussion call
  268. it <strong>conf/zoo.cfg</strong>. Change the
  269. value of <strong>dataDir</strong> to specify an
  270. existing (empty to start with) directory. Here are the meanings
  271. for each of the fields:</p>
  272. <dl>
  273. <dt>
  274. <term>
  275. <strong>tickTime</strong>
  276. </term>
  277. </dt>
  278. <dd>
  279. <p>the basic time unit in milliseconds used by ZooKeeper. It is
  280. used to do heartbeats and the minimum session timeout will be
  281. twice the tickTime.</p>
  282. </dd>
  283. </dl>
  284. <dl>
  285. <dt>
  286. <term>
  287. <strong>dataDir</strong>
  288. </term>
  289. </dt>
  290. <dd>
  291. <p>the location to store the in-memory database snapshots and,
  292. unless specified otherwise, the transaction log of updates to the
  293. database.</p>
  294. </dd>
  295. <dt>
  296. <term>
  297. <strong>clientPort</strong>
  298. </term>
  299. </dt>
  300. <dd>
  301. <p>the port to listen for client connections</p>
  302. </dd>
  303. </dl>
  304. <p>Now that you created the configuration file, you can start
  305. ZooKeeper:</p>
  306. <pre class="code">bin/zkServer.sh start</pre>
  307. <p>ZooKeeper logs messages using log4j -- more detail
  308. available in the
  309. <a href="zookeeperProgrammers.html#Logging">Logging</a>
  310. section of the Programmer's Guide. You will see log messages
  311. coming to the console (default) and/or a log file depending on
  312. the log4j configuration.</p>
  313. <p>The steps outlined here run ZooKeeper in standalone mode. There is
  314. no replication, so if ZooKeeper process fails, the service will go down.
  315. This is fine for most development situations, but to run ZooKeeper in
  316. replicated mode, please see <a href="#sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper">Running Replicated
  317. ZooKeeper</a>.</p>
  318. <a name="sc_FileManagement"></a>
  319. <h3 class="h4">Managing ZooKeeper Storage</h3>
  320. <p>For long running production systems ZooKeeper storage must
  321. be managed externally (dataDir and logs). See the section on
  322. <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_maintenance">maintenance</a> for
  323. more details.</p>
  324. <a name="sc_ConnectingToZooKeeper"></a>
  325. <h3 class="h4">Connecting to ZooKeeper</h3>
  326. <p>Once ZooKeeper is running, you have several options for connection
  327. to it:</p>
  328. <ul>
  329. <li>
  330. <p>
  331. <strong>Java</strong>: Use</p>
  332. <pre class="code">bin/zkCli.sh -server 127.0.0.1:2181</pre>
  333. <p>This lets you perform simple, file-like operations.</p>
  334. </li>
  335. <li>
  336. <p>
  337. <strong>C</strong>: compile cli_mt
  338. (multi-threaded) or cli_st (single-threaded) by running
  339. <span class="codefrag command">make cli_mt</span> or <span class="codefrag command">make
  340. cli_st</span> in
  341. the <strong>src/c</strong> subdirectory in
  342. the ZooKeeper sources. See the README contained within
  343. <strong>src/c</strong> for full details.</p>
  344. <p>You can run the program
  345. from <strong>src/c</strong> using:</p>
  346. <pre class="code">LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. cli_mt 127.0.0.1:2181</pre>
  347. <p>or</p>
  348. <pre class="code">LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. cli_st 127.0.0.1:2181</pre>
  349. <p>This will give you a simple shell to execute file
  350. system like operations on ZooKeeper.</p>
  351. </li>
  352. </ul>
  353. <p>Once you have connected, you should see something like:
  354. </p>
  355. <pre class="code">
  356. Connecting to localhost:2181
  357. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper).
  358. log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
  359. Welcome to ZooKeeper!
  360. JLine support is enabled
  361. [zkshell: 0]
  362. </pre>
  363. <p>
  364. From the shell, type <span class="codefrag command">help</span> to get a listing of commands that can be executed from the client, as in:

  388. <p>From here, you can try a few simple commands to get a feel for this simple command line interface. First, start by issuing the list command, as
  389. in <span class="codefrag command">ls</span>, yielding:
  390. </p>
  391. <pre class="code">
  392. [zkshell: 8] ls /
  393. [zookeeper]
  394. </pre>
  395. <p>Next, create a new znode by running <span class="codefrag command">create /zk_test my_data</span>. This creates a new znode and associates the string "my_data" with the node.
  396. You should see:</p>
  397. <pre class="code">
  398. [zkshell: 9] create /zk_test my_data
  399. Created /zk_test
  400. </pre>
  401. <p> Issue another <span class="codefrag command">ls /</span> command to see what the directory looks like:
  402. </p>
  403. <pre class="code">
  404. [zkshell: 11] ls /
  405. [zookeeper, zk_test]
  406. </pre>
  407. <p>
  408. Notice that the zk_test directory has now been created.
  409. </p>
  410. <p>Next, verify that the data was associated with the znode by running the <span class="codefrag command">get</span> command, as in:
  411. </p>
  412. <pre class="code">

  467. <a name="sc_ProgrammingToZooKeeper"></a>
  468. <h3 class="h4">Programming to ZooKeeper</h3>
  469. <p>ZooKeeper has a Java bindings and C bindings. They are
  470. functionally equivalent. The C bindings exist in two variants: single
  471. threaded and multi-threaded. These differ only in how the messaging loop
  472. is done. For more information, see the <a href="zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_programStructureWithExample">Programming
  473. Examples in the ZooKeeper Programmer's Guide</a> for
  474. sample code using of the different APIs.</p>
  475. <a name="sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper"></a>
  476. <h3 class="h4">Running Replicated ZooKeeper</h3>
  477. <p>Running ZooKeeper in standalone mode is convenient for evaluation,
  478. some development, and testing. But in production, you should run
  479. ZooKeeper in replicated mode. A replicated group of servers in the same
  480. application is called a <em>quorum</em>, and in replicated
  481. mode, all servers in the quorum have copies of the same configuration
  482. file.</p>
  483. <div class="note">
  484. <div class="label">Note</div>
  485. <div class="content">
  486. <p>For replicated mode, a minimum of three servers are required, and it is
  487. strongly recommended that you have an odd number of servers. If you
  488. only have two servers, then you are in a situation where if one of
  489. them fails, there are not enough machines to form a majority quorum.
  490. Two servers is inherently <strong>less</strong> stable than a single
  491. server, because there are two single points of failure.</p>
  492. </div>
  493. </div>
  494. <p>The required <strong>conf/zoo.cfg</strong> file for replicated mode is
  495. similar to the one used in standalone mode, but with a few differences.
  496. Here is an example:</p>
  497. <pre class="code">
  498. tickTime=2000
  499. dataDir=/var/lib/zookeeper
  500. clientPort=2181
  501. initLimit=5
  502. syncLimit=2
  503. server.1=zoo1:2888:3888
  504. server.2=zoo2:2888:3888
  505. server.3=zoo3:2888:3888
  506. </pre>
  507. <p>The new entry, <strong>initLimit</strong> is
  508. timeouts ZooKeeper uses to limit the length of time the ZooKeeper
  509. servers in quorum have to connect to a leader. The entry <strong>syncLimit</strong> limits how far out of date a server can
  510. be from a leader.</p>
  511. <p>With both of these timeouts, you specify the unit of time using
  512. <strong>tickTime</strong>. In this example, the timeout
  513. for initLimit is 5 ticks at 2000 milleseconds a tick, or 10
  514. seconds.</p>
  515. <p>The entries of the form <em>server.X</em> list the
  516. servers that make up the ZooKeeper service. When the server starts up,
  517. it knows which server it is by looking for the file
  518. <em>myid</em> in the data directory. That file has the
  519. contains the server number, in ASCII.</p>
  520. <p>Finally, note the two port numbers after each server
  521. name: " 2888" and "3888". Peers use the former port to connect
  522. to other peers. Such a connection is necessary so that peers
  523. can communicate, for example, to agree upon the order of
  524. updates. More specifically, a ZooKeeper server uses this port
  525. to connect followers to the leader. When a new leader arises, a
  526. follower opens a TCP connection to the leader using this
  527. port. Because the default leader election also uses TCP, we
  528. currently require another port for leader election. This is the
  529. second port in the server entry.
  530. </p>
  531. <div class="note">
  532. <div class="label">Note</div>
  533. <div class="content">
  534. <p>If you want to test multiple servers on a single
  535. machine, specify the servername
  536. as <em>localhost</em> with unique quorum &amp;
  537. leader election ports (i.e. 2888:3888, 2889:3889, 2890:3890 in
  538. the example above) for each server.X in that server's config
  539. file. Of course separate <em>dataDir</em>s and
  540. distinct <em>clientPort</em>s are also necessary
  541. (in the above replicated example, running on a
  542. single <em>localhost</em>, you would still have
  543. three config files).</p>
  544. <p>Please be aware that setting up multiple servers on a single machine
  545. will not create any redundancy. If something were to happen
  546. which caused the machine to die, all of the zookeeper servers
  547. would be offline. Full redundancy requires that each server have
  548. its own machine. It must be a completely separate physical server.
  549. Multiple virtual machines on the same physical host are still
  550. vulnerable to the complete failure of that host.</p>

  554. <h3 class="h4">Other Optimizations</h3>
  555. <p>There are a couple of other configuration parameters that can
  556. greatly increase performance:</p>
  557. <ul>
  558. <li>
  559. <p>To get low latencies on updates it is important to
  560. have a dedicated transaction log directory. By default
  561. transaction logs are put in the same directory as the data
  562. snapshots and <em>myid</em> file. The dataLogDir
  563. parameters indicates a different directory to use for the
  564. transaction logs.</p>
