I run a separate Zookeeper instance right now. Works great, nodes are visible in admin.
Two more questions: - I change my synonyms.txt on a solr node. How can i get zookeeper in sync and the other solr nodes without restart? - I read something more about zookeeper ensemble. When i need to run with 4 solr nodes(replicas) i need 3 zookeepers in ensemble(50% live). When zookeeper and solr are separated it will takes 7 servers to get it live. In the past we only needed 4 servers. Are there some other options because the costs will grow? 3 zookeeper servers sounds like overkill.
