Hi, I am just playing around with SolrCloud and have read in articles like http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2012/03/05/scaling-solr-indexing-with-solrcloud-hadoop-and-behemoth/that it is sufficient to create the connection to the Zookeeper instance and not to the Solr instance. When I try to connect to my standalone Zookeeper instance (not started with a Solr instance and "-DzkRun") I am getting this error:
Caused by: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Could not connect to > ZooKeeper I am also getting this error when I try to connect directly to one of the Solr instances. My code looks like this: solr = new CloudSolrServer("myzkhost:2181"); ((CloudSolrServer) solr).setDefaultCollection("collection1"); I am working with the latest Solr trunk version ( https://builds.apache.org/view/S-Z/view/Solr/job/Solr-trunk/1855/) Do I need to start the zookeeper in Solr to keep this working? Thanks & regards Daniel
