OK. Been using Cores for 4 years. Want to migrate to collections / Cloud.

Do we have to change our queries?

http://loadbalancer:8983/solr/corename/select?q=*:*

What does this become once we have the collection sharded? Do we need a
Load Balancer or just point to one box and run the new query? Or would it
be better to hit the LB in case one machine is no longer good to go?

http://loadbalancer:8983/solr/collectionname/select?q=*:*

What features would not yet be ready for sharded setups with SolrCloud? In
the past, facet counts were an issue, grouping? stats? as well as IDF for
sorting by scores. i.e. facet.field=specialties. We want the Cardiologist
specialty to have unique numbers across shards. So if shard1 has 4 people
with Cardiology, and shard2 has 2 people with Cardiology, we would want the
number to be 6. We would want facet.sort to work on counts... I guess we
could index another collection for facets and just use 1 machine for that?
But doesn't that defeat the purpose?

What is the best walk thru for SOLR 5.3.1 ?

Looking at https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud
