Resolvers should be able to contact the authority and get a resolution that they return back to the gRPC client library. The returned contents include a list of IP:port, an optional config and optional auth config data to be used for channel authentication. The plugin API allows the resolvers to continuously watch an endpoint_name and return updated resolutions as needed.
-## Zookeeper
-
-Apache [ZooKeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/) is a popular solution for building name-systems. Curator is a service discovery system built on to of ZooKeeper. We propose to organize names hierarchically as `/path/service/instance` similar to Apache Curator.
-
-A fully-qualified ZooKeeper name used to construct a gRPC channel will look as follows:
-
-```
-zookeeper://host:port/path/service/instance
-```
-Here `zookeeper` is the scheme identifying the name-system. `host:port` identifies an authoritative name-server for this scheme (i.e., a Zookeeper server). The host can be an IP address or a DNS name.
-Finally `/path/service/instance` is the Zookeeper name to be resolved.
-
-## Service Registration
-
-
-Service providers can register their services in Zookeeper by using a Zookeeper client.
-
-Each service is a zookeeper node, and each instance is a child node of the corresponding service. For example, a MySQL service may have multiple instances, `/mysql/1`, `/mysql/2`, `/mysql/3`. The name of the service or instance, as well as an optional path is specified by the service provider.
-
-The data in service nodes is empty. Each instance node stores its address in the format of `host:port`, where host can be either hostname or IP address.
