## What it does

Oskuvi Coordination Browser lets you look into an Apache ZooKeeper ensemble without leaving the editor: the tree of nodes, the data each one holds and its state, and careful changes.

Open its window, type the address of a server, like localhost:2181, and choose Connect. The tree opens node by node, so a large ensemble doesn't make you wait. The selected node's data shows as text when it is text and as hex when it isn't, with its size, version and the times it was created and last changed.

Changes are guarded: a change is written only if nobody changed the node since you read it. The only addresses the plugin contacts are the servers you type.

## Who it's for

- Engineers who run or debug systems that keep their coordination data in ZooKeeper.
- Developers who want to check a node's data without a separate tool.

## Key features

- **The tree, node by node:** Each line shows how many children a node has, and which nodes live only as long as their session.
- **Data as text or hex:** With its size, version and the times it was created and last changed.
- **Guarded writes:** A change is written only if the node is unchanged since you read it. Otherwise nothing is written, and you are told.
- **Create and delete with care:** A node with children is deleted only after you type its name. The root and ZooKeeper's own nodes are never deleted from here.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I try it without paying?

Yes, for 7 days. After the trial it needs a licence, which you buy through JetBrains Marketplace; the plugin's page there shows the price.

### Does it support authentication?

Not in this version. It connects without authentication and reads and writes what the server allows to anyone. Digest and SASL authentication aren't included yet.

### Can I change data by accident?

Data that isn't plain text, text with Windows line ends, and nodes larger than 512 KB are shown and never written, so nothing is altered by accident.

### Which addresses does it contact?

Only the servers you type. The address is remembered per project; nothing else about a connection is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere else.
