As we have already seen the introduction of Apache Zookeeper<\/strong>. So, before going more deeper into the working of ZooKeeper, we must know some terminologies in ZooKeeper. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, in this Zookeeper article, we will learn the fundamental concepts or ZooKeeper Terminologies, in brief, to further understand it\u2019s working well.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let’s start Apache ZooKeeper Terminologies.<\/p>\n

Zookeeper Terminologies<\/span><\/h2>\n

Below, we are discussing various terminologies in Apache ZooKeeper:<\/p>\n

a. Sessions<\/h3>\n

In ZOOKEEPER operations, Sessions are very important. Basically in a session requests executes in FIFO order. \u00a0However, the session will be established and a session id is assigned to the client, as soon as the client connects to a server.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, to keep the session valid, the client sends heartbeats at a particular time interval. There is a case that in which ZooKeeper ensemble decides that the client died when it does not receive heartbeats from a client for more than the period, session timeout which is specified at the starting of the service.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although, usually Session timeouts are represented in milliseconds. Also, the ephemeral znodes created during that session also get deleted, when a session ends for any reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

b. Watches<\/span><\/h3>\n

Watches are a simple mechanism, for the client to get notifications about the changes in the ZooKeeper ensemble. While reading a particular znode, clients can set watches. Moreover, for any of the znode (on which client registers) changes, watches send a notification to the registered client.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the znode or changes in the Znode\u2019s children, Znode changes are a modification of data associated. However, \u00a0only once, watches are triggered. It must be done through another read operation if a client wants a notification again. <\/span><\/p>\n

The client will be disconnected from the server and the associated watches are also removed when a connection session is expired.<\/span><\/p>\n

c. ZNodes<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a ZooKeeper tree, every node is a znode. Basically, it maintains a stat structure. Stat Structure is a structure which contains version numbers for data changes, ACL changes and many more. So, Znodes maintains these changes. The stat structure also has timestamps. <\/span><\/p>\n

The version number, together with the timestamp allow ZooKeeper to validate the cache and to coordinate updates. The version number increases, e<\/span>ach time a znode’s data changes. <\/span><\/p>\n

As an example, the client receives the version of the data, whenever a client retrieves data.\u00a0Though, it must supply the version of the data of the Znode it is changing, when a client performs an update or a delete. Hence,\u00a0the update will fail, if the version it supplies doesn’t match the actual version of the data.<\/span><\/p>\n

d. Name Service<\/span><\/h3>\n

A service that maps a name to some information associated with that name, is what we call\u00a0a name service. In addition, we can also extend a name service to a group membership service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because by that\u00a0it is possible to obtain information pertaining to the group where that entity is, whose name is we are searching.<\/span><\/p>\n

e. Locking<\/span><\/h3>\n

We may need to implement distributed mutexes, to allow for serialized access to a shared resource in our distributed system. Hence, by ZooKeeper,\u00a0we can implement them easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

f. Synchronization<\/span><\/h3>\n

Basically, for synchronizing access to shared resources we need Hand in hand with distributed mutexes. However, ZooKeeper provides for a simple interface to implement, whether implementing a producer-consumer queue or a barrier. <\/span><\/p>\n

g. Configuration management<\/span><\/h3>\n

In order to store and manage the configuration of our distributed system centrally, we can use ZooKeeper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

h. Leader Election<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is possible that\u00a0the distributed system may have to deal with the problem of nodes going down. Also, we may want to implement an automatic fail-over strategy. For these type of issues, ZooKeeper offers off-the-shelf support\u00a0by leader election.<\/span><\/p>\n

i. ZooKeeper Access Control Using ACLs<\/span><\/h3>\n

In order to control access to its Znodes (the data nodes of a ZooKeeper data tree), ZooKeeper uses ACLs.\u00a0<\/span>
\nSo, this was all in ZooKeeper Terminologies. Hope you like our explanation.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: Zookeeper Terminologies<\/span><\/h2>\n
