Thank you! I just filed the bug in Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15170
About the workaround you mentioned, we ran a quick test on one server and it apparently worked, but we did not check it properly in a cluster (we decided that it is better not to go with this in production anyway). Just out of curiosity, even if we could load the elevate.xml file from the data folder in Cloud (or changing it directly in zk), does this make sense in terms of performance? We have frequent commits and a big elevate.xml file. We are considering your suggestion of using the elevation directly in the queries (I have seen work to improve this by removing the requirement of having an elevate.xml file at all). It seems to be straightforward to apply in some cases, but not so much when you need normalization. -- Disclaimer: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
