The indexing is "handled" by hedwig, but the metadata is indeed stored
in zookeeper.

Each topic in hedwig is a sequence of ledgers. Ledgers can be viewed
as log segments, so the history of messages on a topic is a sequence
of these log segments. There will only ever be one ledger per topic at
any one time. When a ledger becomes big (like 10,000 messages or
something, the boundary is arbitrary), the current ledger is closed
and a new one is created.

Hope this helps,
Ivan
