Description

Hi guys:

I'am working on doing a big refactor for the documetations.it aims to

• 1.make a better reading experiences and help users know more about zookeeper quickly,as good as other projects' doc(e.g redis,hbase).

• 2.have less changes to diff with the original docs as far as possible.

• 3.solve the problem when we have some new features or improvements,but cannot find a good place to doc it.

 

The new catalog may looks kile this:

• is new one added.

• • is the one to keep unchanged as far as possible.

• • • is the one modified.
