I personally never saw this actually happening, and not because of any complexity issues with "getting started with SolrCloud", although I think continuing improvements there are a good thing. Many times, I see these two things conflated: 1) how easy it is to get SolrCloud set up 2) the inherent internal complexity of a system We can always improve #1, but that does not imply improvement in #2 (and may actually increase internal complexity). A system where you can just fire up a node pointed at a directory and not worry about any shared state is very easy to understand, debug, hack around, and build very complex custom systems around. -Yonik
