  238. ZooKeeper</h2>
  239. <div class="section">
  240. <p>This document contains information to get you started quickly with
  241. ZooKeeper. It is aimed primarily at developers hoping to try it out, and
  242. contains simple installation instructions for a single ZooKeeper server, a
  243. few commands to verify that it is running, and a simple programming
  244. example. Finally, as a convenience, there are a few sections regarding
  245. more complicated installations, for example running replicated
  246. deployments, and optimizing the transaction log. However for the complete
  247. instructions for commercial deployments, please refer to the <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html">ZooKeeper
  248. Administrator's Guide</a>.</p>
  249. <a name="N10016"></a><a name="sc_Prerequisites"></a>
  250. <h3 class="h4">Pre-requisites</h3>
  251. <p>See <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_systemReq">
  252. System Requirements</a> in the Admin guide.</p>
  253. <a name="N10024"></a><a name="sc_Download"></a>
  254. <h3 class="h4">Download</h3>
  255. <p>To get a ZooKeeper distribution, download a recent
  256. <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/releases.html">
  257. stable</a> release from one of the Apache Download
  258. Mirrors.</p>
  259. <a name="N10032"></a><a name="sc_InstallingSingleMode"></a>
  260. <h3 class="h4">Standalone Operation</h3>
  261. <p>Setting up a ZooKeeper server in standalone mode is
  262. straightforward. The server is contained in a single JAR file,
  263. so installation consists of creating a configuration.</p>
  264. <p>Once you've downloaded a stable ZooKeeper release unpack
  265. it and cd to the root</p>
  266. <p>To start ZooKeeper you need a configuration file. Here is a sample,
  267. create it in <strong>conf/zoo.cfg</strong>:</p>
  268. <pre class="code">
  269. tickTime=2000
  270. dataDir=/var/zookeeper
  271. clientPort=2181
  272. </pre>
  273. <p>This file can be called anything, but for the sake of this
  274. discussion call
  275. it <strong>conf/zoo.cfg</strong>. Change the
  276. value of <strong>dataDir</strong> to specify an
  277. existing (empty to start with) directory. Here are the meanings
  278. for each of the fields:</p>
  279. <dl>
  280. <dt>
  281. <term>
  282. <strong>tickTime</strong>
  283. </term>
  284. </dt>
  285. <dd>
  286. <p>the basic time unit in milliseconds used by ZooKeeper. It is
  287. used to do heartbeats and the minimum session timeout will be
  288. twice the tickTime.</p>
  289. </dd>
  290. </dl>
  291. <dl>
  292. <dt>
  293. <term>
  294. <strong>dataDir</strong>
  295. </term>
  296. </dt>
  297. <dd>
  298. <p>the location to store the in-memory database snapshots and,
  299. unless specified otherwise, the transaction log of updates to the
  300. database.</p>
  301. </dd>
  302. <dt>
  303. <term>
  304. <strong>clientPort</strong>
  305. </term>
  306. </dt>
  307. <dd>
  308. <p>the port to listen for client connections</p>
  309. </dd>
  310. </dl>
  311. <p>Now that you created the configuration file, you can start
  312. ZooKeeper:</p>
  313. <pre class="code">bin/zkServer.sh start</pre>
  314. <p>ZooKeeper logs messages using log4j -- more detail
  315. available in the
  316. <a href="zookeeperProgrammers.html#Logging">Logging</a>
  317. section of the Programmer's Guide. You will see log messages
  318. coming to the console (default) and/or a log file depending on
  319. the log4j configuration.</p>
  320. <p>The steps outlined here run ZooKeeper in standalone mode. There is
  321. no replication, so if ZooKeeper process fails, the service will go down.
  322. This is fine for most development situations, but to run ZooKeeper in
  323. replicated mode, please see <a href="#sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper">Running Replicated
  324. ZooKeeper</a>.</p>
  325. <a name="N10083"></a><a name="sc_FileManagement"></a>
  326. <h3 class="h4">Managing ZooKeeper Storage</h3>
  327. <p>For long running production systems ZooKeeper storage must
  328. be managed externally (dataDir and logs). See the section on
  329. <a href="zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_maintenance">maintenance</a> for
  330. more details.</p>
  331. <a name="N10091"></a><a name="sc_ConnectingToZooKeeper"></a>
  332. <h3 class="h4">Connecting to ZooKeeper</h3>
  333. <p>Once ZooKeeper is running, you have several options for connection
  334. to it:</p>
  335. <ul>
  336. <li>
  337. <p>
  338. <strong>Java</strong>: Use</p>
  339. <pre class="code">bin/zkCli.sh -server 127.0.0.1:2181</pre>
  340. <p>This lets you perform simple, file-like operations.</p>
  341. </li>
  342. <li>
  343. <p>
  344. <strong>C</strong>: compile cli_mt
  345. (multi-threaded) or cli_st (single-threaded) by running
  346. <span class="codefrag command">make cli_mt</span> or <span class="codefrag command">make
  347. cli_st</span> in
  348. the <strong>src/c</strong> subdirectory in
  349. the ZooKeeper sources. See the README contained within
  350. <strong>src/c</strong> for full details.</p>
  351. <p>You can run the program
  352. from <strong>src/c</strong> using:</p>
  353. <pre class="code">LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. cli_mt 127.0.0.1:2181</pre>
  354. <p>or</p>
  355. <pre class="code">LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. cli_st 127.0.0.1:2181</pre>
  356. <p>This will give you a simple shell to execute file
  357. system like operations on ZooKeeper.</p>
  358. </li>
  359. </ul>
  360. <p>Once you have connected, you should see something like:
  361. </p>
  362. <pre class="code">

  394. <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
  395. in <span class="codefrag command">ls</span>, yielding:
  396. </p>
  397. <pre class="code">
  398. [zkshell: 8] ls /
  399. [zookeeper]
  400. </pre>
  401. <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.
  402. You should see:</p>
  403. <pre class="code">
  404. [zkshell: 9] create /zk_test my_data
  405. Created /zk_test
  406. </pre>
  407. <p> Issue another <span class="codefrag command">ls /</span> command to see what the directory looks like:
  408. </p>
  409. <pre class="code">
  410. [zkshell: 11] ls /
  411. [zookeeper, zk_test]
  412. </pre>
  413. <p>
  414. Notice that the zk_test directory has now been created.
  415. </p>
  416. <p>Next, verify that the data was associated with the znode by running the <span class="codefrag command">get</span> command, as in:

  474. <h3 class="h4">Programming to ZooKeeper</h3>
  475. <p>ZooKeeper has a Java bindings and C bindings. They are
  476. functionally equivalent. The C bindings exist in two variants: single
  477. threaded and multi-threaded. These differ only in how the messaging loop
  478. is done. For more information, see the <a href="zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_programStructureWithExample.html">Programming
  479. Examples in the ZooKeeper Programmer's Guide</a> for
  480. sample code using of the different APIs.</p>

  482. <h3 class="h4">Running Replicated ZooKeeper</h3>
  483. <p>Running ZooKeeper in standalone mode is convenient for evaluation,
  484. some development, and testing. But in production, you should run
  485. ZooKeeper in replicated mode. A replicated group of servers in the same
  486. application is called a <em>quorum</em>, and in replicated
  487. mode, all servers in the quorum have copies of the same configuration
  488. file. The file is similar to the one used in standalone mode, but with a
  489. few differences. Here is an example:</p>
  490. <pre class="code">
  491. tickTime=2000
  492. dataDir=/var/zookeeper
  493. clientPort=2181
  494. initLimit=5
  495. syncLimit=2
  496. server.1=zoo1:2888:3888
  497. server.2=zoo2:2888:3888
  498. server.3=zoo3:2888:3888
  499. </pre>
  500. <p>The new entry, <strong>initLimit</strong> is
  501. timeouts ZooKeeper uses to limit the length of time the ZooKeeper
  502. servers in quorum have to connect to a leader. The entry <strong>syncLimit</strong> limits how far out of date a server can
  503. be from a leader.</p>
  504. <p>With both of these timeouts, you specify the unit of time using
  505. <strong>tickTime</strong>. In this example, the timeout
  506. for initLimit is 5 ticks at 2000 milleseconds a tick, or 10
  507. seconds.</p>
  508. <p>The entries of the form <em>server.X</em> list the
  509. servers that make up the ZooKeeper service. When the server starts up,
  510. it knows which server it is by looking for the file
  511. <em>myid</em> in the data directory. That file has the
  512. contains the server number, in ASCII.</p>
  513. <p>Finally, note the two port numbers after each server
  514. name: " 2888" and "3888". Peers use the former port to connect
  515. to other peers. Such a connection is necessary so that peers
  516. can communicate, for example, to agree upon the order of
  517. updates. More specifically, a ZooKeeper server uses this port
  518. to connect followers to the leader. When a new leader arises, a
  519. follower opens a TCP connection to the leader using this
  520. port. Because the default leader election also uses TCP, we
  521. currently require another port for leader election. This is the
  522. second port in the server entry.

  525. <div class="label">Note</div>
  526. <div class="content">
  527. <p>If you want to test multiple servers on a single
  528. machine, specify the servername
  529. as <em>localhost</em> with unique quorum &amp;
  530. leader election ports (i.e. 2888:3888, 2889:3889, 2890:3890 in
  531. the example above) for each server.X in that server's config
  532. file. Of course separate <em>dataDir</em>s and
  533. distinct <em>clientPort</em>s are also necessary
  534. (in the above replicated example, running on a
  535. single <em>localhost</em>, you would still have
  536. three config files).</p>

  541. <p>There are a couple of other configuration parameters that can
  542. greatly increase performance:</p>
  543. <ul>
  544. <li>
  545. <p>To get low latencies on updates it is important to
  546. have a dedicated transaction log directory. By default
  547. transaction logs are put in the same directory as the data
  548. snapshots and <em>myid</em> file. The dataLogDir
  549. parameters indicates a different directory to use for the
  550. transaction logs.</p>
