It's all one JVM, so it's all one shared heap. I don't know of any way within Solr or Zookeeper for it to be configured to specify how much of the heap it is allowed to use. Both pieces of software will allocate whatever they need to do their jobs, assuming the JVM has been configured with a large enough heap. You should not be using the embedded zookeeper except for test or demo purposes. A production SolrCloud cluster should be configured with separate zookeeper processes, running on at least three servers. When using the embedded zookeeper, it goes down anytime that instance of Solr does. Thanks, Shawn
