Hello, Our platform has 4 solr instances and 3 zookeepers(solr 4.1.0).
I want to add a new core in my solrcloud. I add the new core to the solr.xml file: <core name="collection2" instanceDir="collection2" /> I put the config files in the directory collection2. I uploaded the new config to zookeeper and start solr. Solr did not start up and gives the following error: Oct 16, 2014 4:57:06 PM org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController publish INFO: publishing core=collection1 state=recovering Oct 16, 2014 4:57:06 PM org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController publish INFO: numShards not found on descriptor - reading it from system property Oct 16, 2014 4:57:06 PM org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpClientUtil createClient INFO: Creating new http client, config:maxConnections=128&maxConnectionsPerHost=32&followRedirects=false Oct 16, 2014 4:59:06 PM org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log SEVERE: Error while trying to recover. core=collection1:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: I was asked to wait on state recovering for 31.114.2.237:8910_solr but I still do not see the requested state.

Any help would be appreciated!
