Hi Arun,

There is no API to associate data with a session. I think you can track the
tag to session id mappings explicitly out side of ZooKeeper if this is for
forensic purposes. When a client connects to ZK server ensemble you can
call getSessionId method on the client instance which gives you the session
Id, then you can store the Id along with your tags in a file or a data
store for later analysis. You can also store them in ZK but that will
create overhead that could impact normal use cases. You might also want to
handle cases where a client can get multiple session id caused by session
expiration.
