You can install additional components like Zookeeper when you create a Dataproc
cluster using the
Optional components
feature. This page describes the Zookeeper component.
The Apache Zookeeper
component is centralized service for providing distributed synchronization
of data.
Install the component
Install the component when you create a Dataproc cluster.
To create a Dataproc cluster that includes the Zookeeper component,
use the
gcloud dataproc clusters createcluster-name
command with the --optional-components flag (using image version
1.0 or later).
