Plugin proposal: Akka.Cluster.Zookeeper

[Horusiath]

This is the idea for the plugin, that could use Apache Zookeeper for bootstrapping akka cluster. There already exists a similar solution on the JVM space (link).

I'd like to help out on this one.

After some research on this, I wonder if Zookeeper is a good fit?
Zookeeper is CP, and a service discovery (seednode discovery in our case) really should be AP, right?

@rogeralsing Zookeeper is centralized configuration server. I think that having hard consistency is desired for this case. However it's also possible to work in read-only mode which is more AP oriented - there is interesting discussion about that in comments section of article, you've linked.

@akkadotnet/core Should we move this proposal to the AkkaNetContrib org?
