> collection1 has 2 shards and 1 replica
> collection2 has 8 shards and 1 replica
> I have 8 nodes so collection2 is spread across all 8 , while collection1 is 
> hosted by two nodes
> If we create an alias called "collection1" and point it to "collection2".
> Querying against the alias "collection1" works as expected but what I noticed 
> was the top level queries would only hit 2 out of the 8 JVMs when querying 
> using SolrJ
> It turns out that SolrJ is using the state.json of collection1 ( the actual 
> collection ) and routing queries to only those nodes.
> There are two negatives to this:
>  - If those two nodes are down all queries fail.
>  - Top level queries are only routed to those two nodes thus causing a skew 
> in the top level requests
> The obvious solution would be to use the state.json file of the underlying 
> collection that the alias is pointing to  . But if we have the alias pointing 
> to multiple collections then this might get tricky?
