My understanding is the same that "{!join...}" does not work in SolrCloud (aka
distributed search)
based on:
1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3759
2. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DistributedSearch
--- see "Limitations" section which refers to the JIRA above

Subject: Re: Joins with SolrCloud
I have never heard mention that joins support distributed search, so you cannot
do a join against a sharded core.
However, if from your example, innerCollection was replicated across all nodes,
I would think that should work, because all that comes back from each server
when a distributed search happens is the best 'n' matches, so exactly how those
'n' matches were located doesn't matter particularly.
Simpler answer: try it!
