Ephemeral Znodes:<\/strong> They remain active as long as the client is connected. When a client disconnects, ephemeral Znodes are automatically deleted. Due to this, they cannot have additional children. When an ephemeral Znode is deleted, the next appropriate node fills its position. Ephemeral Znodes play a crucial role in leader election.<\/p><p><strong>3. Sequential Znodes:<\/strong> This type of Znode can be either persistent or ephemeral. When a sequential Znode is created, ZooKeeper appends a 10-digit sequence to the original name, forming the Znode&#8217;s path.<\/p><p>For example, if a Znode with the path \/myapp is created as a sequential Znode, ZooKeeper will change the path to \/myapp0000000001 and set the next sequence number to 0000000002.<\/p><p>In the case of two sequential Znodes being created simultaneously, <strong>ZooKeeper<\/strong> will never use the same number for each Znode.

By default, all znodes are persistent, unless otherwise specified. Ephemeral znodes: remain active as long as the client is connected. When a customer disconnects, ephemeral znodes are automatically deleted. For this reason, they cannot have additional children. When an ephemeral znode is deleted, the next appropriate node will fill its position. They play an essential role in the election of the Leader. Sequential znode: this last type of znode can be either persistent or ephemeral. When this type of znode is created, ZooKeeper defines the znode path by attaching a 10-digit sequence to the original name. For example, if a znode with the path \/myapp is created as a sequential znode, ZooKeeper will change the path to \/myapp0000000001 and set the next sequence number to 0000000002. If 2 sequential znodes are created simultaneously, ZooKeeper will never use the same number for each znode. This type of znode plays an important role in locking and synchronization.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"How does Zookeeper work? \",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"ZooKeeper follows a \"client-server\" architecture, where servers are nodes that provide a service and clients are the nodes that use that service.
