As an example, I have 9 SOLR nodes (3 clusters of 3) using different versions of SOLR (4.1, 4.1, and 4.2.1), utilizing the same zookeeper ensemble (3 servers), using chroot for the different configs across clusters.
My zookeeper servers are just VMs, dual-core with 1GB of RAM and are only used for SOLRCloud JVM settings for zookeeper for heap size are start 256MB and max heap size of 512MB or: -Xms256m -Xmx512m I have never seen it use more than the specified start heap size of 256MB. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Zookeeper-Ensemble-Startup-Parameters-For-SolrCloud-tp4063905p4064279.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
