I don't know what the exact problems would be if maxThreads is reached. It's probably unpredictable. With 2674 collections added, 5GB wasn't enough heap. I started getting a ton of exceptions during collection creation. I had to shut down both Solr instances. When I brought up the first instance with a 7GB heap (the one with the embedded zk), it took exactly half an hour for jetty to start listening on port 8983, and about two hours total for it to stabilize to the point where everything for that node was green on the cloud graph. Even now, nearly three hours after startup, the Solr log is still spitting out thousands of lines that look like this, so I don't think I can call it stable: INFO - 2015-03-04 07:35:51.166; org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZkStateReader; Updating data for mycoll1515 to ver 60 I'm going to try bringing up the other Solr instance now, and if that stabilizes with all shards in the green, I will try to continue adding collections. Side note: I have been able to confirm with these tests that version 5.0 no longer requires increasing jute.maxbuffer to run many collections. I'm still running with the default value and zookeeper has had no problems handling all the data. Thanks, Shawn
