Apache Accumulo Integrations

ZooKeeper is a central service that maintains configuration information, naming, distributed synchronization and provides group services. Distributed applications use all of these services in some way. There is a lot of work involved in fixing bugs and other race conditions. These kinds of services are difficult to implement so applications often skimp on them at the beginning. This makes them fragile and difficult to manage in the face of change. Even if the services are implemented correctly, there can be multiple implementations that lead to complexity in management when the applications are deployed.
