Yes, but it is only failing when clickhouse is initialised in the absence of zookeeper, Once it starts, scaling zookeeper down does not make any difference, am adding a post install hook to scale zookeeper down after clickhouse is up. This approach would impair clickhouse in case of a automatic restart, but this seems to be the only way to go to save that 300MB. Any better ideas or suggestions are welcome.
