sure, but jps isnt pkill. The point is you cant use binary name to make your way around anymore. The binary name is 'java'. Standard unix tools just don't work. Yes there are work arounds, but over time things end up being just a little more complex than they should be. Which means if someone is comparing zookeeper and etcd, well etcd wins major points for being unixy and easy to deploy. Copy 1 binary, done. ZK loses major points here. Gotta make sure the JVM is installed, but do you need the OpenJDK or the Oracle one? if the latter, well apt-get and yum are less helpful. It's all just little globs of annoying details that add up to be a small pain. Nothing horrible, but if you could make a choice to avoid that, why not? Basically I guess what I'm saying is there is probably a market for replacing all the Javay distsys stuff with Rust/Go versions. I mean look at etcd! |

Or in the other direction. If your main system runs on the JVM and your sysadmins are used to the JVM tools then having a piece of infrastructure that's just another .jar is wonderful, and C/Rust/Go/Ruby/etc. infrastructure elicits groans. Mixing platforms will always be harder than a common platform. So the infrastructure market depends on where you think the future of applications is.
