Not only it won't be trivial, but I don't have it completely clear
that if we separate Zab and ZooKeeper you will have exactly what you
need. In our previous discussions about this issue, we ended up
concluding that we would need a richer interface than simply abcast
and abdeliver. For example, one important aspect currently is stable
storage for logging and checkpointing. To separate the ZooKeeper
application and Zab we would have to decide which side would manage
it, but both sides would need access to to it some way.
It sounds like a good idea to think carefully if a separate Zab would
really satisfy your requirements before spending time on the
implementation.
