Error deploying ZooKeeper on Fabric8

Question

I am trying to run the pre-packaged ZooKeeper within Fabric8. Three instances are created and linked as an ensemble. However, when I open one of the logs from the Pods UI, I see errors like below. Does anyone know how to fix?

Answer 1

Failed to resolve address: zookeeper-3

Failed to resolve address: zookeeper-1

Zookeeper initially starts out and tries to do a leader election after trying to connect to all reachable instances. It seems none of your instances are reachable.

You probably forgot to update the entries in zoo.cfg file. Here is what a default zoo.cfg looks like

tickTime=2000
dataDir=/var/lib/zookeeper/
clientPort=2181
initLimit=5
syncLimit=2
server.1=zoo1:2888:3888
server.2=zoo2:2888:3888
server.3=zoo3:2888:3888 

You need to update zoo1, zoo2, zoo3 with appropriate hostnames or ips which resolve to unique hostnames
