Re: SolrCloud - load balancing

Okay - it does basically cycle through the servers. I forgot, it shuffles the server list every time. 

So it's okay for searching - but we want to make it smarter for indexing. 

First perhaps by favoring leaders, and then hashing itself and sending directly to the right leader.
