Another issue with zookeeper, the c bindings which are the basis for alot of language bindings, is both buggy and often out of date, esp wrt to individual language bindings. I've often see internal cpu spiked loads on c lib's internal io thread, ie pathological behavior. The recent support for dynamic quorums or transactions has yet to make it to any of the distributed language bindings. At least for python the folks at mozilla put together a nice from scratch library in the form of kazoo, at the cost of reimplementing the entire protocol. Compare that to the simplicity of etcd's, where you can just curl/wget a request.
