Re: Documentation of Zookeeper's specific roles and functions in Solr Cloud?

I think they believe this because of what you say above -- they are misinterpreting the call for topology as a handoff where zookeeper "does the rest"... This info will allow me to straighten out that misunderstanding... Thanks all! On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 10:49 AM, Walter Underwood

This is easy to prove. Shut down Zookeeper, then send search requests to different hosts in the Solr Cloud cluster. If they work, then the requests are not going through Zookeeper. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Nov 29, 2016, at

bq: My new place tells me they're sending requests to Zookeeper - and those are getting sent on to Solr by Zookeeper - -- this is news to me if it's true... Have you seen the code? Because if they're using SolrJ, then they do, indeed connect to Zookeeper (i.e. CloudSolrClient takes a ZK ensemble)

Re: Documentation of Zookeeper's specific roles and functions in Solr Cloud?

If using CloudSolrClient or another zookeeper aware client, then a request gets sent to Zookeeper to determine the live nodes. If indexing, CloudSolrClient can find the leader and send documents directly there. The client then uses that information to query the correct nodes directly. Zookeeper

Documentation of Zookeeper's specific roles and functions in Solr Cloud?

All, I've thought I understood that Solr search requests are made to the Solr servers and NOT Zookeeper directly. (I.E. Zookeeper doesn't decide which Solr server responds to requests and requests are made directly to Solr) My new place tells me they're sending requests to Zookeeper - and those
