ZooKeeper uses a data model based on a hierarchy of nodes, similar to the structure of a file system. Therefore, each node is identified by a unique path within the tree. They can have children, which are essentially nodes placed under the parent node in the hierarchy. This tree-like structure allows for the creation of complex data structures to represent the information required for the coordination and synchronization of distributed applications.
Apache ZooKeeper is a distributed coordination system, which presents itself as a single entity, but conceals an entire complex system. It solves all the problems encountered by distributed applications thanks to its framework, which also provides a number of services, including configuration management and naming services.
