FWIW -- zookeeper is pretty set-and-forget in my experience with
settings like autopurge.snapRetainCount, autopurge.purgeInterval, and
rotating the zookeeper.out stdout file.
It is a big hassle to setup the individual myid files and keep them in
sync with the server.$id=hostname in zoo.cfg but, ag
Curator is just on the client (solr) side, to make it easier to integrate with
Zookeeper, right?
If you study Elastic, they had terrible cluster stability a few years ago since
everything
was too «dynamic» and «zero config». That led to the system outsmarting itself

The intermediate solution is to migrate to Curator. I don’t know all the ins

of that and whether or not it would be easier to setup and maintain.
I do know that Zookeeper is deeply embedded in Solr and taking replacing it with
most anything would be a major pain.
I’m also certain that r
Is it horrible that I’m already burnt out from just reading that?
I’m going to stick to the classic solr master slave set up for the foreseeable
future, at least that let’s me focus more on the search theory rather than the
back end system non stop.

My 2 cents, I have few solrcloud productions installations, I would share
some thoughts of what I learned in the latest 4/5 years (fwiw) just as they
come out of my mind.
- to configure a SolrCloud *production* Cluster you have to be a zookeeper
expert even if you only need Solr.
- the Zookeeper e
Zookeeper was created because fault-tolerant algorithms are extremely hard to
test and get correct. Maybe the hardest thing in computing. Using a trusted
implementation frees up lots of developer time.
To get an idea of the difficulty, read through the kinds of things fixed in the
Zookeeper rel
Zookeeper is annoying to both set up and manage, but then again the same
thing can be said about solr cloud. not certain why you would want to deal
with either
