I was actually going to try orchestrating SolrCloud restart myself using loadOnStartup="false".
Did you pursue this any further? With Solr 4.7.1... I found that using core LOAD, RELOAD, and CREATE do not take a "down" replica to "active". What I've found so far is that I can startup a collection if I hit each replica with a "select". The first replica that receives a "select" hangs; concurrently I hit the 2nd replica (of 2) with a "select". The collection then comes up. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Collection-loadOnStartup-tp4082531p4131760.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
