SOLR-2355 is definitely a step in the right direction but something I would like to get clarified:
a) There were some fixes to it that went on the 3.4 & 3.5 branch based on the comments section ... are they not available or not needed on 4.x trunk? b) Does this basic implementation distribute across shards or across cores? I think that distributing across all the cores in a shard is the key towards using it successfully with SolrCloud and I really don't know if this does this right now as I am not familiar with the source code. If someone could answer this it would be great otherwise I'll post back eventually when I do become familiar. Cheers, - Pulkit
