Thanks for the response. I have never noticed any inconsistencies with zookeeper and the leader knows it has two followers (of course this is stats from now, I wish I had looked at this before the restarts)
#echo mntr | nc 127.0.0.1 2181 zk_version 3.4.8--1, built on 02/06/2016 03:18 GMT … zk_server_state leader .. zk_followers 2 zk_synced_followers 2 .. Also the solr nodes are connecting effectively with the different ZK nodes: (one box for example) #echo stat | nc 127.0.0.1 2181 Zookeeper version: 3.4.8--1, built on 02/06/2016 03:18 GMT Clients: /192.91.6.40:45450[1](queued=0,recved=598765,sent=601713) /192.91.6.27:50060[1](queued=0,recved=595002,sent=598030) /192.91.6.204:39008[1](queued=0,recved=625580,sent=628276) /127.0.0.1:38748[0](queued=0,recved=1,sent=0) Each ZK node lists one or more of the solr boxes as clients.

Some evidence for mis-configured Zookeepers might be if you rebooted ZK3 and had this happen again. But that's a wild shot in the dark.

Recently due to dirty cow I had to reboot my Solr and zookeeper clusters. I rebooted the solr nodes one by one and all was fine. I then rebooted zookeeper nodes 1 and 2 (with at least 10 minute delay between reboots) and again all was fine - no errors reported in zookeepers RUOK, solcloud cluster health was all green. When I rebooted ZK 3 solr reported it could no longer connect to ZK and all the leaders lost their replicas. After a short time solr started rebuilding its replicas (it recovered all automagically) - I didn’t restart solr. The only issue was a spike in load on the solr leaders. > > My best guess is that solrcloud doesn’t reconnect effectively if a zookeeper node disappears for a period (zkClientTimeout is set to 15 sec (15000)). > > Relevant config in start-up script: -DzkClientTimeout=1500 -DzkHost=zookeeper01:2181,zookeeper02:2181,zookeeper03:2181/solr/production > > My questions: > Has anyone experienced this upon rebooting zookeeper?
