I don't want updates/queries to be sent to other clusters. I want them to remain within the cluster that received it. The static collections are actually silly and eventually they will be gone completely. I would have preferred to never have had the static collections in ZooKeeper at all but, as soon as you connect Solr to ZooKeeper, every core must be in ZooKeeper or else it can't be loaded at all. For right now, just imagine that 1 static collection currently has replica on all Solr servers. After the ZooKeeper cluster separation, each ZK cluster will have separate knowledge of the same collection but with a distinct subset of Solr replica servers (no 2 ZK clusters will see the same replicas). So all Solr servers will still have the same collection with the same data (even though they are technically different logical collections). I'll eventually do some tests and see what happens. I'll try to remember to respond with the results for those that might be curious. Thank you for your help. -- Eric
