Additional notes and resources: This is a best practice and recommended way, since converting the existing cluster from local ZK to External ZK, would require some manual intervention and editing files, that are prone to mistakes and any mistake in this process will be very costly, and can compromise the cluster stability, Therefore it is important to follow the steps carefully, both those exposed here and those that the Migration_Utility_Guide_v2xx explains.
