Building distributed applications is difficult enough without having to coordinate the actions that make them work. This practical guide shows how Apache ZooKeeper helps you manage distributed systems, so you can focus mainly on application logic. Even with ZooKeeper, implementing coordination tasks is not trivial, but this book provides good practices to give you a head start, and points out caveats that developers and administrators alike need to watch for along the way. In three separate sections, ZooKeeper contributors Flavio Junqueira and Benjamin Reed introduce the principles of distributed systems, provide ZooKeeper programming techniques, and include the information you need to administer this service. Learn how ZooKeeper solves common coordination tasks Explore the ZooKeeper API’s Java and C implementations and how they differ Use methods to track and react to ZooKeeper state changes Handle failures of the network, application processes, and ZooKeeper itself Learn about ZooKeeper’s trickier aspects dealing with concurrency, ordering, and configuration Use the Curator high-level interface for connection management Become familiar with ZooKeeper internals and administration tools

The Zoo Keeper’s Daughter By: Pat Alleyne The Zoo Keeper’s Daughter is about a young girl name Milky who lives with her parents. Milky, who lives on the other side of the world, cannot understand why her dreams are tormented with shadows of black cats and a boy with blue eyes, though she is always protected by African elephants. Later in life, she is confronted in her dream by the angel Nadine. Milky has heard her name before, in a séance that was done when she was a very young girl. But, this time, the angel comes with a message: that Milky is the chosen one. Sean’s life is different. At a very young age, he lost his missionary parents in Africa. A war had broken out among the tribes and many lives and animals were consumed by fire and bloodshed. Sean was found in the jungle unconscious and was housed in a hospital tent. After time had passed, the war was over. Sean was lucky to be adopted and brought to England. Growing up in England, he soon discovered he had magical powers, which he kept a secret. There is another thing Sean starts to experience—his dreams of meeting a beautiful brown-skinned girl by the name of Milky. But he found himself laughing and saying it is only a dream. But later, as Sean became older and came to America to complete his education, he finally meets the girl of his dreams. That’s when their adventure started. For those of you who fancy angels, you will most definitely fall in love with Milky and Sean. They will enhance your life with their great adventure.
