The most responsive client you would be able to write would use the C binding for zookeeper, to keep track of clusterstate like CloudSolrClient does: http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.4.8/zookeeperProgrammers.html#C+Binding If you use this client, the C code would get information from Zookeeper and use that to manage a list of active servers, collections, and other information. Using the HTTP endpoints (Collections API and the zookeeper HTTP endpoint used by the admin UI) is an option, but then you would need to regularly poll for status. The zookeeper client is nearly instantly notified of changes in zookeeper locations that it is watching, so it is much more responsive. Using the zookeeper client would very likely *not* be a trivial project. I believe you could use the CloudSolrClient java source as a model. Thanks, Shawn
