zookeeper and hiveserver2 relation

[#1]

what is the relation between hiveserver2 and zookeeper? Whenever hiveerver2 went down, I'm restarting the zookeeper ans it's fixing the problem

If there are no HA components (Namenode HA and 2 hiveserver2 instances), then there is no depending with zookeeper.

Check the hiveserver2.log from /var/log/hiveserver2/hiveserver2.log to see if you see any errors. If you have 2 hiveserver2 instances, they will register with zookeeper which may be when they are running into issues.
