You can do this today by propagating a new configuration to the new and
old servers and then restarting them. the bounce should take around a
second and to the clients it should look like a server failure and then
a reconnect. you shouldn't lose any sessions and everything should just
recover.
we do have an open issue to do this more on the fly without having to do
the bounce, but it is behind other priorities in the work queue.

We are investigating Ensemble and a key question came up: How does one add a
server to a running ensemble of Zookeeper servers in a 24/7 environment? If
I have a 3-server ensemble and traffic grows to the point where I need
another 2 servers, how do I add them without shutting everything down and
restarting?
Thanks for your help,
