> Should this be a znode in the privileged namespace? > I think having a znode for the current cluster members is part of the ZOOKEEPER-107 proposal, with the idea being that you could get/set the membership just by writing to that node. On the client side, you could watch that znode and update your server list when it changes. I think it would be a great solution, but I was thinking the ability to manually manage the server list would be useful in the interim, or if ZK-107 takes a different path.
