How hdfs architecture and zookeeper architecture are different?

In case of HDFS, HDFS namenode is designated by the system administrator while in Zookeeper the leader is chosen automatically based on the election. In Zookeeper, a follower will become the new leader if the existing leader fails but in HDFS data node will not become namenode.

I hope it is clear to all.
