What is Exhibitor?

According to the ZooKeeper documentation

You will want to have a supervisory process that manages each of your ZooKeeper server processes (JVM).

Exhibitor is a supervisor system for ZooKeeper. It provides a number of features:

• Watches a ZK instance and makes sure it is running
• Performs periodic backups
• Perform periodic cleaning of ZK log directory
• A GUI explorer for viewing ZK nodes

How do I use Exhibitor?

Exhibitor is not a self-contained application. It is meant to be included into an application container of your choice. In addition to the Exhibitor artifacts you need to add:

• A container such as Tomcat, Jetty, etc.
• A JAX-RS implementation such as Jersey, RESTEasy, etc.
• The ZooKeeper server distribution
