Spring Boot ZooKeeper client - maven

I want to use ZooKeeper in order to synchronize my distributed services via ZooKeeper ephemeral nodes.
The idea is the following - every node in the topology on the startup will create ZooKeeper session and ephemeral nodes. On the node restart or failure, these nodes will disappear.
I'm going to implement it using Spring Boot. Right now I'm in doubt what project and Maven dependency to use in order to have ZooKeeper client autoconfiguration, be able to create ZooKeeper session on the application startup, be able to create from this client - ZooKeeper ephemeral nodes and use ZooKeeper transactions.
Right now I'm looking on Spring Cloud Zookeeper/ but I'm not sure is it a right one for this purpose. Could you please point me to the right Spring Boot ZooKeeper project and show the small example how to achieve that I have described above.

How to get Kafka brokers in a cluster using Spring Boot Kafka?

I have a Spring Boot (2.3.3) service using spring-kafka to currently access a dedicated Kafka/Zookeeper configuration. I have been using the application.properties setting spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers=localhost:9092 to access my dev/test Apache Kafka service.
However, in production, we have a Cluster of Kafka Brokers (on many servers) configured in Zookeeper, and I have been asked to modify my service to query Zookeeper to get the list of brokers and use that list instead of the bootstrap servers configuration. Reason, our DevOps folks have been known to reconfigure servers/nodes and Kafka brokers.
Basically, I have been asked to make my service agnostic to where the Apache Kafka brokers are running. All my service needs to know is how to get the list of brokers (bootstrap server info including host and port) from Zookeeper.
Is there a way in spring-boot and spring-kafka to retrieve from Zookeeper the broker list and use that broker (aka bootstrap server) list in my service?
Spring delegates to the kafka-clients for all connections; for a long time now, the kafka-clients no longer connect to Zookeeper, only to the brokers themselves.
There is no built-in support in Spring for querying the Zookeeper to determine the broker list.
Furthermore, in a future Kafka version, Zookeeper is going away altogether; see KIP-500.

Gemfire ClusterConfigurationNotAvailableException: Unable to retrieve cluster configuration from the locator

Gemfire cluster suddenly goes down because of ClusterConfigurationNotAvailableException: Unable to retrieve cluster configuration from the locator
We have a 2 locator and 2 server Gemfire cluster. We bootstrap Gemfire cache server using cache.xml and spring data gemfire xml using spring boot initializer.
We have a client spring boot service which connect to cluster.
Gemfire cluster suddenly goes down randomly due to ClusterConfigurationNotAvailableException: Unable to retrieve cluster configuration from the locator. What could be the reason for it?. After restart it works fine for a day or 2 without issues and then this issue comes. It impacts our High availability. Please help us fixing this.

Expected behavior is high availability of Gemfire cluster
By default, whenever a GemFire server starts up (or automatically reconnects to the cluster after an unexpected shutdown), it tries to recover the Cluster Configuration from any locator, if it fails to do so then the member will just shutdown itself, which is what's happening looking at the stack trace attached (see the occurrence of org.apache.geode.distributed.internal.InternalDistributedSystem.tryReconnect in the stack). I'd focus my analysis in why the member was disconnected in the first place, the subsequent failure to reconnect is just a consequence and not the root cause of the issue.
Either way, if you're just using individual xml files to configure your members and don't want to use the Cluster Configuration Service at all, then you can just start your locator with the property --enable-cluster-configuration=false (the default is true) and your servers with --use-cluster-configuration=false (the default is also true), this will prevent the servers from trying to start up using the cluster configuration from the locators.
Hope this helps. Cheers.

Can we Connect redis cluster with master nodes only via spring boot

We created redid cluster with redis 5. In our cluster we have 3 master and 6 slave nodes which is recommended by Redis.
Now to connect redid cluster via spring boot, we used
spring.redis.cluster.nodes[0]=192.168.2.4:7379
.
.
This way we configured all redis nodes in spring boot configuration including 3 masters and 6 slave. Want to understand, is it required to pass all redis node configuration to spring boot? Can we just go ahead with master node configurations in spring boot? If possible, please share reason behind the suggestion.

how to configure redis, hsqldb,zookeeper, multiple admin in spring xd

I want to create a distributed cluster in spring xd.
I am able to create a cluster with single admin, one zookeeper, one instance of redis and hsqldb.
But when i'm trying to do that with multiple instance of zookeeper , hsqldb, redis ,i'm not able to configure it correctly.
You should only have a single instance of zookeeper, hsqldb and redis. All xd-admins should be configured to connect to the same instance of each of these services and so should the xd-containers be.
Like Thomas has mentioned, the idea is that you have your (multiple) instances of admin and containers deployed, and all connect to the same zk,redis, hsqldb & rabbitmq.
Why do you want to start multiple instances of these applications?
Zookeeper provides the topology of the cluster and manages deployments. Also, it makes sure to note when nodes go up and down - avoiding single point of failures when you have many xd-admin instances (one is leader and the others replicate, they will become leader if the current one fails).
Or are you talking about making those instance parallel to avoid a SPOF? In that case, you should try to dedicate an entire VM for each of those applications.

Spring XD Distributed Environment

I am working on Spring XD and GemFire XD. I want to understand how Spring XD's distributed environment works. I know spring xd uses either redis or rabittmq as the transport.
I am clear about this, I have install spring xd and rabittmq on one machine. I changed the redis.properties file and added hostnames.
Do I need to install spring xd on all the machines? If so, after installing, how to bring those up.
On the master machine, I will do ./xd-admin and ./xd-container
How do you start up the nodes (spring xd instances/workers) so that they can listen for instructions from xd-admin?
Please help me on this.
Thanks,

Redis is used for analytics as only supported platform. For transport, you need either Redis or Rabbit.
Basically you just need to install Redis and RabbitMQ per their respective documentation. They can be in same or different servers, Ideally you would use their high availability option. For example Redis Sentinal. YOu don't need RabbitMQ unless you want to change the default transport from Redis to Rabbit. Once you install Redis and Rabbit, bring them up and provide their host:port info (and any additional as applicable) to the servers.yml in XD install (in all nodes) and bring up admin and containers. Evrything should work automatically by using zookeeper as the means to manage the distributed runtime.
If you use Spring XD in distributed mode, I assume you have set up zookeeper as well. (If not check this http://docs.spring.io/spring-xd/docs/1.0.0.M7/reference/html/#_setting_up_zookeeper )
Admin and Container instances register themselves with Zookeeper as they come up. Admin queries zookeeper for available containers and assign tasks like deploying modules. Zookeeper is the trick behind Distributed mode.
Hope this helps.
You will install Spring xd one time on one machine, Spring XD will be connected to your hdfs distributed scaled out environment.
You need to start the followings:
1. redis or rappitMQ in your case
2. hsqldb server
3. container
4. admin
when you start spring xd, you need to register the name node firstly using the command:
hadoop config fs --name hdfs://serverip:8020
then you can use any module defined in spring xd (using stream or batch) by specifying its parameters directly without specifying those in the server.yml file.
