By default, CloudSolrServer sets up an HttpClient object that is given to the LBHttpSolrServer instance inside it. The LBHttpSolrServer object shares that HttpClient between all of the HttpSolrServer objects that it maintains. You can configure your own HttpClient in your code and then use that to create CloudSolrServer: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/5_1_0/solr-solrj/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/impl/CloudSolrClient.html#CloudSolrClient%28java.util.Collection,%20java.lang.String,%20org.apache.http.client.HttpClient%29 Zookeeper is a separate jar entirely, and handles its own network connectivity. That connectivity is NOT http. > 3. Consider in my solr cloud I have one collection with 8 shards spread on > 4 solr nodes.

For distributed searching, Solr uses the SolrJ client internally to collect responses from the shards. The HttpClient for THAT communication is configured with the shardHandler in solrconfig.xml. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml?highlight=%28shardhandler%29#Configuration_of_Shard_Handlers_for_Distributed_searches Thanks, Shawn
