If you index them with SolrCloudServer, your server will learn where data will go from Zookeeper and send data to that shard leader. However if you use another random processes or something like data will go any of nodes and after that will be routed into the right place within cluster. This extra routing process within cluster may cause unnecessary network traffic and latency for indexing time as well.
