Deploy apache pulsar with external zookeeper

Hi All,

I have a zookeeper instance configured in a different namespace. I want to deploy the apache pulsar and use the zookeeper instance that I have in the other namespace.

In the values.yaml file i see an option to disable zookeeper. When I disable that, zookeeper instance is not created.

I also provided externalZookeeperServerList with my external zookeeper endpoints.

Now I notice that externalZookeeperServerList is used when zookeeper component is enabled. So, my zookeeper endpoints are not use by the helm chart and bookie and broker are always trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:2181.

Is there a way to configure pulsar to use external zookeeper instead.

Thanks,
Robert

Start with values.yaml and the externalZookeeperServerList setting. Trace how disabling the Zookeeper component affects the bookie and broker configuration, focusing on the reported fallback to 127.0.0.1:2181. Done means the Helm chart uses the supplied external endpoints when the bundled Zookeeper is disabled.
