Nodes talk to ZooKeeper as well as to each other. You can see the addresses they are trying to use to communicate with each other in the 'cloud' view of the Solr Admin UI. Sometimes you have to override these, as the detected default may not be an address that other nodes can reach. As a limited example: for some reason my mac cannot talk to my linux box with its default detected host address of halfmetal:8983/solr - but the mac can reach my linux box if I use halfmetal.Local - so I have to override the published address of my linux box using the host attribute if I want to setup a cluster between my macbook and linux box.
Each nodes talks to ZooKeeper to learn about the other nodes, including their addresses. Recovery is then done node to node using the appropriate addresses. - Mark Miller lucidimagination.com On Mar 16, 2012, at 3:00 PM, Matthew Parker wrote: > I'm still having issues replicating in my work environment.
