I have a solr 3.6 infrastructure with 4 server 24 cores/128GB (~15 shards at every server), 70 million documents.
Now I set up a new solr 4 infrastructure with the same hardware. I reduce the shards and have only 6 shards. But I don't understand the difference between solrcloud and a multi-server loadbalancing. And if solrcloud the better way (more performance)? LoadBalancer -> solrcloud (4 Nodes) LoadBalancer -> 4 solr server with the same shards Is there a benefit of the solrcloud in this case?
