Hi Phil -
The default update chain now includes the distributed update processor by
default - and if in solrcloud mode it will be active.
Probably, what you want to do is define your own update chain (see the wiki).
Then you can add that update chain as the default for your json update handler
in solrconfig.xml.
<!-- referencing it in an update handler -->
<requestHandler name="/update/json" class="solr.JsonUpdateRequestHandler" >
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="update.chain">mychain</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
The default chain is:
new LogUpdateProcessorFactory(),
new DistributedUpdateProcessorFactory(),
new RunUpdateProcessorFactory()
So just use Log and Run instead to get your old behavior.
