今天按照zookeeper官网的文档配置了一套zookeeper集群。链接如下：
按照官网的建议，我配置了3台的测试环境，三台完全启动之后，查看状态，两台是follower,一台是leader.
?
./bin/zkServer.sh status
JMX enabled by default
Using config: /opt/yunfei/zookeeper-3.4.6/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Mode: follower
./bin/zkServer.sh status
JMX enabled by default
Using config: /opt/yunfei/zookeeper-3.4.6/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Mode: leader
?
下一步，开始测试高可用。
1. 运行kill -9 命令杀死三个zookeeper中的一个。集群运行正常。
2. 运行kill -9 命令杀死三个zookeeper中的两个。集群全部失效。
?
查看状态如下：
./bin/zkServer.sh status
JMX enabled by default
Using config: /opt/yunfei/zookeeper-3.4.6/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Error contacting service. It is probably not running.
?
也就是说三台服务器中，如果一台宕机，集群是可以继续正常运行的，但是两台宕机就不可以了。
查阅官网文档之后，发现如下的doc：
Cross Machine Requirements
For the ZooKeeper service to be active, there must be a majority of non-failing machines that can communicate with each other. To create a deployment that can tolerate the failure of F machines, you should count on deploying 2xF+1 machines. Thus, a deployment that consists of three machines can handle one failure, and a deployment of five machines can handle two failures. Note that a deployment of six machines can only handle two failures since three machines is not a majority. For this reason, ZooKeeper deployments are usually made up of an odd number of machines.
To achieve the highest probability of tolerating a failure you should try to make machine failures independent. For example, if most of the machines share the same switch, failure of that switch could cause a correlated failure and bring down the service. The same holds true of shared power circuits, cooling systems, etc.
?总结起来，就是如下几点：
?
1.设置zookeeper集群是一定要部署为2xF+1（即奇数）个server，这样可以允许F个Server出错（宕机或其他）。即：假设有三台server，则最多可以允许一台服务器宕机。集群继续正常工作。
2. 设计zookeeper集群时，为了尽量抬高可靠性、容错性。部署服务器的时候，尽量让服务器位于不同的机房、或者在同一个机房中连接不同的交换机。防止一台交换机出错时，导致整体不可用。
