After digging deeper (slow for a *nix newbee), I uncovered issues with
the java installation. A step in installation of Oracle Java has it
that you -install "java" with the path to <dir>/bin/java. That done,
zookeeper seems to be running.
I booted three cores (on the same box) -- this is the simple one-box
3-node cloud test, and used the test code from the Lucidworks course
to send over and read some documents. That failed with this:
Unknown document router '{name=compositeId}'
Lots more research.
Closer...
