Hello, I'm trying to deploy, using SolRCloud, a cluster of 3 VMs with Windows, each with an instance of SolR running on a Tomcat container AND with an external ZooKeeper (3.4.5) (so 3 ZK + 3 SolR). I'm using SolR 4.2, the original conf is multi-core (6 different cores)
I tried to set up a configuration of 3 shards each with 2 replica (1 original + 1), so that: * VM1 --> shards 1,2 * VM2 --> shards 2,3 * VM3 --> shards 1,3 After days of googling, reading documentation (in particular here <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Setting+Up+an+External+ZooKeeper+Ensemble> , here <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Example_C:_Two_shard_cluster_with_shard_replicas_and_zookeeper_ensemble> and here <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloudTomcat> ) and browsing forums, I can't still find the solution. Apparently the only way to force 2 shards on the same machine is to use Collection API (otherwise I could only deploy 3 shards * 1 replica,using numShards or 1 shard * 3 replica). After several attempts (almost all combinations of adding/removing bootstrap_conf=true, solr.xml persistent true/false, removing/leaving 'core' tags in solr.xml, using DELETE/RELOAD/CREATE on collections) I managed to deploy this configuration using boostrap_conf=true, DELETing and CREATing on each collection, but when I stop SolR service and then start it again, it does not work (adding/removing boostrap_conf etc.). I think this quite a standard use case, is there a simple solution avoiding very ugly workarounds like deploying 2 tomcats or more than 1 SolR on tomcat?
