I've really grown to dislike ZooKeeper. While incredibly useful, it's pretty awful. It's nearly impossible to secure in any non-trivial setup. And it's inane requirement to reserve a physical disk [1] for its transaction log is almost impossible to fulfil with virtualized hardware.

[1] From the manual:

Is this not the assumption of many SQL databases that make certain guarantees about complying with ACID? I'm not a DB expert but feels like something I've read before.
