I COMPLETELY admit that I have a technology bias, but every time I see a project like this I wonder "Why Zookeeper and not etcd?" etcd has repeatedly proven itself capable of handling large scales of traffic and yet is trivial to administer in comparison.
Because the dev was familiar with Zookeeper and not etcd
Author here! Yep, when I started I was quite new to Python, and Zookeeper had a library while etcd didn't, and I didn't really find a good reason to pick etcd over Zookeeper when the latter was easier to work with. At the scales I've been working with, I haven't seen any issues with Zookeeper.
