I would like to poll for the loadbalancer you are using for SolrCloud.
Are you using a loadbalancer for SolrCloud?
If yes, which one (SolrJ, HAProxy, Varnish, Nginx,...) and why?
I use haproxy for Solr -- not SolrCloud. It is an amazing and FAST
piece of software, without the overhead of a full webserver (apache,
nginx). It also has zero cost, which is far more attractive than
hardware load balancers, and can do anything I've seen a hardware load
balancer do. With the presence of another piece of software (such as
pacemaker) you can even have hardware redundancy for the load balancer.
Most of my clients talking to Solr are Java, so they use
HttpSolrClient/HttpSolrServer from SolrJ, connecting to the load balancer.
For SolrCloud, if your clients are Java, you don't need a load balancer,
because the client (CloudSolrClient in SolrJ) talks to the entire
cluster and dynamically adjusts to changes in clusterstate.
