Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-2374:
-----------------------------------

I raised the question about "correct" Zk usage in this thread 
http://search-lucene.com/m/ZwBtm1PbXXY bullet c). The ZK docs says we should 
only store lightweight config objects in ZK, thus the 1Mb node size limit. So 
I'm not sure the entire /solr/conf/ folder should just be dumped into ZK. 
Dictionaries and other large files could live in something like Voldemort, with 
only a reference stored in ZK. That scales, but demands a tool for 
up/downloading files to Voldemort :)

I don't have much ZK experience, but perhaps more in the spirit of ZK would be 
to model the configs found in solr.xml and solrconfig.xml as a more 
fine-grained ZK node structure. Imagine being able to change the mergeFactor by 
changing the ZK node /solr/collections/collection1/indexDefaults/mergeFactor to 
a new value... :) instead of having to download the latest solrconfig.xml, 
modify it and re-uploading. Such a strategy again requires tools to import a 
solrconfig.xml to ZK and exporting an existing ZK config as XML.
