I know at least three Diggers patrol the list and one of them is a committer to Cassandra. Last I heard from my former coworkers at Digg was that ZooKeeper can be more overhead than wanted when doing locks in a high write environment. I think Ian quoted something obscene like 100ms+ to get a lock. I've also heard the Python implementation is lacking. That being said, I've heard lots of good things from many people about ZK. --Joe
