Release Notes for 
               P4ZK, the Perforce-Zookeeper Client
                              Version 2015.1

Introduction

	P4zk, the Perforce Zookeeper Client, is used in DCS Data Center
	Scaling configurations.  The p4zk process is launched by both 
	by Perforce servers and by brokers (in the role of DCS Routers).
	The process that launches p4zk maintains an interprocess connection
	to p4zk throughout its lifetime. The launched p4zk acts as a proxy 
	Zookeeper client for that server or broker. Zookeeper monitors
	the health of the server or broker through Zookeeper's connection
	to the process' p4zk.  If the server or broker fails then the associated
	p4zk shuts down, which causes the DCS state information to change
	in the Zookeeper server.  The rest of the p4zks will respond to that
	state change and, if required, issue commands to reconfigure 
	their associated server or reconfigure the routing via changes to the
	broker configuration file.

	Installation and setup of both the p4zk and a Zookeeper server
	cluster is performed through the Server Management Tool.

	* P4zk and the other DCS Data Center Scaling components are
