Hi Varun, SolrCloud only uses zk to store configuration, not data. Each solr instance will have its own data folder, and you'll need to sync the ExternalFileField file to each one. I don't think you can do this with anything internal to Solr at the moment - we've had clients use basic rsync to do it, though, and that works well.
