Is anyone actually using CloudSolrClient WITHOUT specifying ZooKeeper URLs?
For those who don't know, CloudSolrClient supports two ways of getting the cluster state in order to route and failover intelligently -- via ZooKeeper or via HTTP calls to Solr. https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/solrj.html#base-urls-of-cloudsolrclient However, for years (if not since the inception?), the performance has been terrible: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14985 It's so bad, I have doubts that anybody is actually using this. If basically nobody is, I could see fixing the performance problems piecemeal with breaking support for certain things (perhaps aliases or cluster properties... we'll see). The recourse for any hypothetical user is of course to use the ZK connection or to use plain (non-Cloud) SolrClient. ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley
