Answer 1

Zookeeper is used in distributed applications mainly for configuration management and high availability operations. Zookeeper does this by a Master-Slave architecture. Neo4j and VoltDb might be using zookeeper for this purpose

Coming to the ports understanding : suppose u have 3 servers for zookeepers ... You need to mention in configuration as

clientPort=2181
server.1=zookeeper1:2888:3888
server.2=zookeeper2:2888:3888
server.3=zookeeper3:2888:3888

Out of these one server will be the master and rest all will be slaves.If any server goes OFF then zookeeper elects leader automatically .

Servers listen on three ports: 2181 for client connections; 2888 for follower connections, if they are the leader; and 3888 for other server connections during the leader election phase .
