Is there any alternative of ZooKeeper in .net? Other than database which we all use for similar stuff.

We need it for leader selection and to make sure one item is getting processed only once and various distributed status sharing.

Why do you want a .net version of ZooKeeper? As long as you don't intend to hack ZooKeeper itself you could just install it and use it. If you're searching for a .net client for ZooKeeper, this may help you: http://erichauser.net/2010/04/23/zookeeper-net-client/ There's also an improved REST interface for ZooKeeper underway: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-809

REST support would be great, problem with .net clients with opensource products are they fall behind and often left alone in dust. As product like ZooKeeper become heart of your application it is much better to go with fully supported product. But REST would solve that problem.

Well, why don't you help then to maintain the .net client? It's free software (unlike .net) so you're free to help out.
