: I manage a SolrCloud with 5 shards. Queries go thru an AWS load balancer but : indexing does not, so my leader1 is getting clobbered. Should my SolrJ app : be pointing at a load balancer and if so will indexing via the : ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer class still work?
The "Concurrent" part of that class name refers to the fact that it streams docs to a server i na backround thread -- so using htat with a load balancer isn't going to work the way you might think. If you'd like to better distribute the updates across your cluster, you should use CloudSolrClient/CloudSolrServer (depending on your SolrJ version) which will ensure that documents are routed directly to the appropriate leader for the *correct* shard of each document. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
