As you know, a gem isn't cool without an obscure name. Which is why Vidocq gets its name from the first known private investigator, Eugène François Vidocq. Vidocq is a library for hunting down service instances. Services that register as running using an ephemeral zookeeper znode can be discovered with Vidocq.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'vidocq'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as: $ gem install vidocq

v = Vidocq.new('my-service', '0.1', :zk => 'myzkserver:2181', :ttl => 10)
response = v.call(:id => '42')
