In a steady state, a SolrCloud cluster puts no load on ZooKeeper other than maintaining heart beats for the most part.
The heaviest load might be when you start up a few hundred nodes and they all keep loading and receiving state rapidly at the same time. ZooKeeper handles that pretty easily though. In my experience, SolrCloud is a walk in the park for ZK, so you probably don't need to go crazy. - Mark On Mar 19, 2013, at 3:01 PM, jimtronic <jimtro...@gmail.com> wrote: > I understand this may be a better question for the zookeeper list, but I'm > asking here because I'm not completely clear how much load zookeeper takes > on in a solr cloud setup. > > I'm trying to determine what specs my zookeeper boxes should be.
