I was following the release demo video for v2024.01.0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNwMkenQQ24 and when I did 'docker
compose up' the containers couldn't resolve the DNS name for 'zookeeper'
I realized this was because the zookeeper container was using the
default docker network, so I specified the wmsa network explicitly.
To avoid having to either hard-code or manually configure service addresses (possibly several dozen), and to reduce the project's dependency on docker to deal with routing and discovery, the option to use [Zookeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/) to manage services and discovery has been added.
A service registry interface was added, with a Zookeeper implementation and a basic implementation that only works on docker and hard-codes everything.
The last remaining REST service, the assistant-service, has been migrated to gRPC.
This also proved a good time to clear out primordial technical debt from the root of the codebase. The 'service-client' library has been taken behind the barn and given a last farewell. It's replaced by a small library for managing gRPC channels.
Since it's no longer used by anything, RxJava has been removed as a dependency from the project.
Although the current state seems reasonably stable, this is a work-in-progress commit.
This adds a single-node barebones configuration to the install script. It also moves the log4j configuration into system.properties, and sets assertions to disabled by default.
