: The issue we face is the f5 balancer is returning a cookie which the client

: My question is can I configure the solr server to ignore client state ? We

I'm not an expert on HTTP session affinity as implemented by various load
blanacers, but i can say with a high degree of confidence:
1) SolrJ doesn't care about cookies
2) if any part of the codepath you are using cares about cookies sent back
from your load-balancer, it would be the HttpClient objects used by
CommonsHttpSolrServer.
3) you have total control over the HttpClient objects used by
CommonsHttpSolrServer via an optional constructor arg.
