As per APIDOC : https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.2.2/api/org/apache/zookeeper/ZooKeeper.html

public org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.ZooKeeper(
  String connectString,
  int sessionTimeout,
  Watcher watcher) throws IOException

Above function accepts connection string which is nothing but CSV of host:port, Which to me looks like hardcoding required at either code/constants/xml/config-service somewhere. But as hosts withing Zookeeper can keep on changing this string can go stale at any point in time and System-Admin to Developer communication to upgrade this might get delays.

Do we have any other better/dynamic way to connect to zookeeper ?

Looked at below but all are doing host:port.

Did some code formatting for you. Also, please include the important parts of the linked websites. If they change, your answer becomes rather... ...less useful, to say the least. ;) – Markus W Mahlberg Apr 12 '15 at 14:22
Use an external properties file, sysadmins can then edit this file and change hostnames/ports – Apr 12 '15 at 14:28
May be Exhibitor project will help? https://github.com/Netflix/curator/wiki/Exhibitor-Integration – Konstantin V. Salikhov Apr 12 '15 at 17:33
