Hello, I am using the new collection alias feature, and it seems CloudSolrServer class (solrj 4.2.0) does not allow to use it, either for update or select.
When I'm requesting the CloudSolrServer with a collection alias name, I have the error: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Collection not found: aliasedCollection The collection alias cannot be found because, in CloudSolrServer#getCollectionList (line 319) method, the alias variable is always empty. When I'm requesting the CloudSolrServer, the connect method is called and it calls the ZkStateReader#createClusterStateWatchersAndUpdate method. In the ZkStateReader#createClusterStateWatchersAndUpdate method, the aliases are not loaded. line 295, the data from /clusterstate.json are loaded : ClusterState clusterState = ClusterState.load(zkClient, liveNodeSet); this.clusterState = clusterState; Should we have the same data loading from /aliases.json, in order to fill the aliases field ? line 299, a Watcher for aliases is created but does not seem used. As a workaround to avoid the error, I have to force the aliases loading at my application start and when the aliases are updated: CloudSolrServer solrServer = new CloudSolrServer("localhost:2181"); solrServer.setDefaultCollection("aliasedCollection"); solrServer.connect(); solrServer.getZkStateReader().updateAliases(); Is there a better way to use collection aliases with solrj ?
