Zookeeper Service Workflow Diagram

This flowchart illustrates the step-by-step process of how a service or application can participate in a leader election mechanism using Apache ZooKeeper. It details connecting to the ZooKeeper service, checking for the existence of a designated election node, creating ephemeral and sequential nodes, and then determining leadership based on the smallest sequential node. The diagram also shows how watches are used to react to node deletions, triggering a re-evaluation for leader status, ensuring high availability and robust distributed coordination.
