Hi, > add features corresponding to stuff that we used to use in ElasticSearch
Does that mean you have used ElasticSearch but decided to try SolrCloud instead? I'm also looking at a distributed solution. ElasticSearch just seems much further along than SolrCloud. So I'd be interested to hear about any particular reasons you decided to pick SolrCloud instead of ElasticSearch.

It is hard to follow what is going on and how to use what has been acheived - you cannot follow the examples on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud anymore (e.g. there is no shard="shard1" in solr/example/solr/solr.xml anymore). Will it be possible to maintain a how-to-use section on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/NewSolrCloudDesign with examples, e.g. like to ones on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud, on how to use it, that "at any time" reflects how to use whats on the HEAD of "solrcloud" branch? In my project we are about to start using something else that ElasticSearch, and SolrCloud is an option, but there is a lot to be done in Solr(Cloud) before it is even comparable with ElasticSearch wrt features. If we choose to go for SolrCloud we would like to participate in the development of the new SolrCloud, and add features corresponding to stuff that we used to use in ElasticSearch, but it is very hard to contribute to SolrCloud if it is "black box" (that only a few persons know about) work going on on branch "solrcloud" getting us from http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud to http://wiki.apache.org/solr/NewSolrCloudDesign.
