Drivers
=======
Tooz is provided with several drivers implementing the provided coordination
API. While all drivers provides the same set of features with respect to the
API, some of them have different properties:
* `zookeeper`_ is the reference implementation and provides the most solid
features as it's possible to build a cluster of ZooKeeper that is
resilient towards network partitions for example.
* `memcached`_ is a basic implementation and provides less resiliency, though
it's much simpler to setup. A lot of the features provided in tooz are
based on timeout (heartbeats, locks, etc) so are less resilient than other
backends.
* `zake`_ is a driver using a fake implementation of ZooKeeper and can be
used to use Tooz in your unit tests suite for example.
