This depends on the data size and availability requirement of your use
Ideally, the size of RAM limit the total data size for ZooKeeper. However,
if you store several gigs of data into ZooKeeper, the server load time
will be quite long (minutes) depending on your disk bandwidth. When there
is a leader election, every server need to reload the data from disk into
memory so the quorum is considered unavailable during this period.
