Hi Mark, Thanks for your response. I did manage to one example running with 2 solr instance running and i checked that shards are created and replicated properly.
The problem that i am now facing is zookeeper's clusterstate. If i kill one solr instance (which may hold one or more cores) by pressing CTRL+C, zookeeper never show's that instance as *down* and keeps on sowing that instance as *active*. The other instance, becomes the leader for some of the shards that were present in the first instance though. This suggests that zookeeper gets to know that one instance went down but for some strange reason its not updating clusterstate.json thing. Has this already been reported? or there is something that i am missing? Thanks!
