I have three zookeeper nodes. All ports are open. The ip address are correct. Below is my config file. All nodes where booted by chef and all have the same install and config file.
# The number of milliseconds of each tick
tickTime=3000
# The number of ticks that the initial
# synchronization phase can take
initLimit=10
# The number of ticks that can pass between
# sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
syncLimit=5
# the directory where the snapshot is stored.
dataDir=/var/lib/zookeeper
# Place the dataLogDir to a separate physical disc for better performance
# dataLogDir=/disk2/zookeeper
# the port at which the clients will connect
clientPort=2181
server.1=111.111.111:2888:3888
server.2=111.111.112:2888:3888
server.3=111.111.113:2888:3888
Here is error for one of the nodes. So...I am rather confused on how I could get an error since the config is rather vanilla. All three nodes are doing hte same thing.
