    I have recently deployed Big Data cluster. In that I've used Apache Kafka and zookeeper. But still I didn't understand about its usage in cluster. When both are required and for what purpose?

    In short you will use Kafka to load data into your big data clusters and you will be able to do this at a high speed even when using modest hardware because of the distributed nature of Kafka. Regarding Zookeeper, its a centralized distributed configuration service and naming registry for large distributed systems.
