By default each znode is replicated on all zookeper servers.

Is it possible to replicate a znode only at a subset of zookeeper servers?

No. You can however define the set of servers which need to acknowledge an
update before it completes. Others will still get the update
asynchronously.
By default a majority needs to ack every update but you can change that
using Hierarchical quorums. For example you can give different servers'
acks different weights, and more.

No. Why do you want to do this?

For scalability maybe? To me it sounds like a partitioning scheme.

Our system has a policy of replicating each data-item/znode at 3 random
servers out of N servers. We wanted to use Zookeeper for consistency.
