1) This source directory contains various Zookeeper recipe implementations. 2) The recipe directory name should specify the name of the recipe you are implementing - eg. lock/. 3) It would be great if you can provide both the java and c recipes for the zookeeper recipes. The c recipes go in to recipe-name/src/c and the java implementation goes into recipe-name/src/java. 4) The recipes hold high standards like our zookeeper c/java libraries, so make sure that you include some unit testing with both the c and java recipe code. 5) Also, please name your c client public methods as zkr_recipe-name_methodname (eg. zkr_lock_lock in lock/src/c) 6) The various recipes are in ../../docs/recipes.html or ../../docs/reciped.pdf. Also, this is not an exhaustive list by any chance. Zookeeper is used (and can be used) for more than what we have listed in the docs. 7) To run the c tests in all the recipes, - make sure the main zookeeper c libraries in {top}/src/c/ are compiled. Run autoreconf -if;./configure; make. The libaries will be installed in {top}/src/c/.libs. - run autoreconf if;./configure;make run-check in src/recipes/$recipename/src/c
