Glad to help. Yeah, I thought you might have been making it harder
than it needed to be ;).
In SolrCloud you're constantly running up against "it's just magic
until it's not", knowing when magic applies and when it doesn't can be
tricky, very tricky.
Basically when using LBs, people just thro
Thank you, Erick. This is exactly the information I needed but hadn't
correctly parsed as a new Solr cloud user. You've just made setting up our new

"We need a way to determine that a node is still 'alive' and should be
in the load balancer, and we need a way to know that a new node is now

Why? If a Solr node is running but the replicas aren't up yet, it'll

Thank you, Erick. That confirms our understanding for a single cluster, or
once we select a node from one of the two clusters to query.

though, we still have some questions. We need a way to determine that a node

Multiple clusters with the same dataset aren't load-balanced by Solr,
you'll have to accomplish that from "outside", e.g. something that sends
queries to each cluster.
_Within_ a cluster (collection), as long as a request gets to any Solr
node, sub-requests are distributed with an internal softwar
