Not that I know of, but.... look before you leap. I took a quick look at
Consul and it really doesn't look like any kind of drop-in replacement.
Also, the Zookeeper usage in SolrCloud isn't really pluggable
AFAIK, so there'll be lots of places in the Solr code that need to be
reworked etc., especially in the realm of collections and sharding.

The Collections API will be challenging to port over I think.

Not to mention SolrJ and CloudSolrServer for clients who want to interact
with SolrCloud through Java.

Not saying it won't work, I just suspect that getting it done would be
a big job, and thereafter keeping those changes in sync with the
changing SolrCloud code base would chew up a lots of time. So if
I were putting my Product Manager hat on I'd ask "is the benefit
worth the effort?".

All that said, go for it if you've a mind to!

Best,
Erick
