SolrCloud load-balancing

Question

i\'m working on a .NET application that uses Solr as Search Engine. I had configured a SolrCloud installation with two server (one for Replica) and i didn\'t split the index

Answer 1

Since you only have a single shard, the server that is receiving the request will respond with the result, it will not perform another request to the other replica when it has the data locally. The Java CloudSolrServer client connects to ZooKeeper and knows which servers are up or down and will perform load balancing appropriately across all active servers. I don't believe there are any ports .NET ports available for this specific client.

Answer 2

I've tested this solution and it works. Adding the various shard addresses in the field "shards" separated by the character "|" forces Solr to call the internal load balancer (LBHttpSolrServer) that performs a simple round robin balancing.
