I would have expected that doing a core reload on the current leader would force an election and move the leader, but on my 4.2.1 SolrCloud (the only version I have running at the moment) that does not appear to be happening. IMHO we need a way to force a leader change on a shard. An API for "move all leaders currently on this Solr instance" would actually be a very useful feature. I can envision two issues for you to file in Jira. The first would be an Improvement issue, the second would be a Bug: * SolrCloud: Add API to move leader off a Solr instance * SolrCloud: LotsOfCollections takes a long time to stabilize If we can get a dev who specializes in SolrCloud to respond, perhaps they'll have a recommendation about whether these are sensible issues, and if not, what they'd recommend. Thanks, Shawn
