Hi, we are looking at Solr+Zookeeper as the architecture for enabling federated searches among geographically distributed data centers.
I wonder if anybody can comment on what is the status of enabling timeouts with respect to distributed searches in a Solr-Zookeeper environment. Specifially, following the example C) in the Solr Cloud wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud it seems like the system is resilient to any Solr server (out of 4) being unavailable, but if both Solr servers serving the same shard go down, then a distributed query results in error, instead or returning partial results. Is there any special configuration that needs to be set for the Solr and/or Zookeepers servers, or any request parameter that needs to be added, to make the distributed query just return results from the only available shard ? Or maybe this feature is not yet operational ? thanks a lot, Luca
