Hi, I'm busy doing the exact same thing. I figured things out - all by myself - the wiki page is a nice 'fist view', but doesn't goes in dept...
Lets go ahead: 1)Should i copy the libraries from cloud to trunk??? 2)should i keep the cloud module in every system??? A: Yes, you should. You should get yourself the latest dev trunk and compile it. The steps I followed: + grap latest trunk & build solr + backup all solr config files + in dir tomcat6/webapps/ remove the dir 'solr' + copy the new solr.war ( which you build in first step ) to tomcat6/webapps + On your Solr_home/conf dir solrconfig.xml need to be replaced by a new one ( you take from example dir of your build) -- some other config files ( like schema.xml ) you may keep using the old ones. + Adapt the new files to represent the old configuration + restart tomcat and it will install new version of solr It seems the index isn't compatible - so you need to flush your whole index and re-index all data. And finally you have your solr system back with zookeeper integrated in /admin zone :) 3) I am not using any cores in the solr. It is a single solr in every system.can solrcloud support it?? A: Actually you are using one cor - so gives no problem. But be sure to check you have solr.xml file in your solr_home dir. This file just mentions all cores - in your case just one core; ( you can find examples of layout of this file easily on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin ) 4) the example is given in jetty.Is it the same way to make it in tomcat??? A: Right now - it is the same way. You have to edit your /etc/init.d/tomcat6 startup script. In the start) section you can specify all the JAVA_OPTS ( the ones the solrcloud wiki mentions). Be sure to set following one: export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -DhostPort=8080" ( if tomcat runs on port 8080 ) At first I didn't --> my zookeeper pointed to standard 8983 port, which gave errors. In the above I gave you a quick peak how to get the SolrCloud feature. In above the Zookeeper is embedded in one of your solr machines. If you don't want this you may place zookeeper on a different machine ( like I'm doing right now). If you need more help - you can contact me.
