Zookeeper running on two nodes

I have a situation where Zookeeper is configured for 2 nodes but at times it starts running on both the nodes simultaneously. Why this might be happening?

To make an ensemble with Master-slave architecture you need to have odd number of zookeeper server .i.e.{1, 3 ,5,7....etc}. Ensemble of 3 can handle the one server crash ..similarly ensemble of 5 can handle 2 server ...so on .

When you are trying to create an ensemble of 2 servers ,zookeeper actually cannot understand this an ensemble and taking each server as individual ensemble.

The only solution here is to run another zookeeper server and add the 3rd one to this group.Or you can run only one server .To see how to make an ensemble of 3 pls check : what is zookeeper port and its usage?
