My needs are not only high availability (for which 2 nodes would be
enough), but also load bal
Your last comment really answered. A ZK quorum is explicitly ((num zk
instances)/2) + 1.
So no, you don't need 6 nodes at all. It's perfectly reasonable to run
a Solr instance
on each node and a ZK instance (not embedded) on the same three nodes.
I think you're over-thinking the problem though. H

Thanks Erick for your fast answer!

Yeah, it took me a few tries to get it all straight in my head.
Perhaps this will help. Whether or not to install Zookeeper on the same
node as Solr is entirely your decision. And I'm assuming that you're NOT
talking about the embedded Zookeeper BTW.
