Shawn, Thanks ,load balancer seems to be the preferred solution here , I have a topology where I have 6 Solr nodes that support 3 shards with a replication factor of 2.
Looks like it woul dbe better to use the load balancers for querying only.The question, that I have is if I go the load balancer route should I be listing all the six nodes in the load balancer or only the leaders as identified by SolrCloud admin console?Would the load balancing solution also incur any additional routing of requests between the individual nodes of SolrCloud that would have not happened had the python Solr client been zookeeper aware? Also for indexing ,which is not done from a Python client but is done using Solrj, I will avoid the load balancers and do the indexing it via the Zookeeper route. Thanks.
