Is there some library or project out there that works like Zookeeper but has no java dependency? I'm looking at putting this on an embedded linux system, and need minimal footprint... something like a megabyte or less. I have Lua, C and C++ runtimes, and could put something like NewLISP on there if I had to. Most or all of the clients will be C or C++, a nice command line utility for the benefit of shell scripts would also be useful. http://zookeeper.apache.org/
There is accord,
Accord is a high-performance coordination service like Apache ZooKeeper
It looks like accord is written in c.
