I know, but thanks for pointing it out. At the moment I’m doing a proof of concept investigating SolrCloud.

Because as of now I don’t see a way of having a reproducible failover mechanism without additional physical machines. Or am I wrong here? Let’s say I have two leaders (host1, and host2) running, each with one shard of the collection running. How can I make sure that host1 will run a replica of host2 ? Thanks Oliver
