    > Yeah! I mean, I find a lot of linearizability errors in various databases, but this was also my very first time doing this kind of test, and it varies from system to system. Could have easily slipped through the cracks.

    In summary, aphyr thought Zookeeper is linearizable even though it doesn't provide linearizable ops.

    Looks like Zookeeper needs to be tested again.
