-ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information,
-naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services.
-All of these kinds of services are used in some form or another by distributed
-applications. Each time they are implemented there is a lot of work that goes
-into fixing the bugs and race conditions that are inevitable. Because of the
-difficulty of implementing these kinds of services, applications initially
-usually skimp on them ,which make them brittle in the presence of change and
-difficult to manage. Even when done correctly, different implementations of
-these services lead to management complexity when the applications are
-deployed.

The recommended UID/GID is 322. You can create these like so:
groupadd -g 322 zookeeper
-useradd -u 322 -g 322 -c "Zookeeper user" -d /var/lib/zookeeper -s /bin/sh zookeeper
+useradd -u 322 -g 322 -c "Zookeeper user" \
+ -d /var/lib/zookeeper -s /bin/sh zookeeper
