would it be possible to run without ZooKeeper for much simpler/basic deployments so its inline with other databases e.g. MySql/PosgreSql?

Research direction
Investigate the possibility of removing ZooKeeper dependency by using an alternative consensus mechanism or embedded coordination. Review the comments in issue #123 for previous discussions. Examine Noria's source code in the `src/` directory to understand current ZooKeeper usage and identify components that would need refactoring. Consider evaluating lightweight alternatives like etcd or Raft based solutions.
