Hi Shawn - Thank you for the quick and detailed response!! Good to hear that Jetty 8 installation with solr for typical uses does not need to be modified.
I believe what we have is a "typical" use case. We will be installing solr on 3 nodes in our Hadoop cluster. Will use Hadoop's zookeeper. One collection with 3 shards and 2 replicas each. Have not benchmarked performance. So, may need more shards, nodes,... Data volume and user volumes are not very high. But we are using nested document structure. We are concerned that it may introduce performance issues. Will check it out. Regarding you recommendation to upgrade to Solr 5.2.1, we have Hortonworks HDP 2.2 in place and they support 4.10. Will revisit the decision.

I found the official page that talks about JettyPlus. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty Note at the top of the page where it says that info is outdated for Jetty 8. Solr has been using Jetty 8 since version 4.0-ALPHA -- for nearly three years now. Typical use cases for Solr do *not* require a full Jetty install. Even most non-typical use cases do not require it. Solr 4.10 includes the bin/solr script for startup, which runs the Jetty that's included in the Solr download. Solr 5.x makes those scripts even better. If you haven't made it to production yet, you should probably consider upgrading to Solr 5.2.1. If you are not going to use the Jetty included with Solr, then you're pretty much on your own. You can take the war file from the dist directory, the logging jars from the example/lib/ext directory, and the logging config from example/resources, and install it in most of the available servlet containers. Starting with 5.0, the included Jetty is the only officially supported way to start Solr, and the war is no longer included in the dist directory in the download. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/WhyNoWar Thanks, Shawn
