Mark Miller commented on SOLR-5381:
-----------------------------------

bq. The only instance when a node needs to know about the state of other shards 
is when it needs to forward a request.

It would like to know the state of the other shards as it often has to query 
against all the shards in a collection and we don't want to keep hitting a 
shard that is down and we don't want to take forever to hit a shard that just 
came up ...

bq.  That information can be looked up on demand and cached. 

I don't think I'm sold on that yet. Perhaps you need to do stuff like that for 
truly massive clusters, but until we proof point everything on a few thousand 
nodes, it doesn't seem worth this kind of change to me.

bq. Nobody should need to watch other shards on a realtime basis. I

I do think it's important that we continue to propagate cluster state changes 
relatively quickly after they happen.

> clusterstate.json is a single point of contention for all components in 
> SolrCloud. It would be hard to scale SolrCloud beyond a few thousand nodes 
> because there are too many updates and too many nodes need to be notified of 
> the changes. As the no:of nodes go up the size of clusterstate.json keeps 
> going up and it will soon exceed the limit impossed by ZK.
> The first step is to store the shards information in separate nodes and each 
> node can just listen to the shard node it belongs to. We may also need to 
> split each collection into its own node and the clusterstate.json just 
> holding the names of the collections .
> This is an umbrella issue
