This feature is going to be great to have, thanks for working on it!
However, can someone help me understand why we have standalone mode at
all? It seems like, in theory, starting a quorum with just a single
node should work just fine and simply act as if it were in standalone
mode. (I've used Paxos implementations in the past that work this
way.) What's the catch that prevents Zookeeper from doing this?
Thanks,
Jeremy
