Description

When starting Solr in cloud mode, if zookeeper is not available within 30 seconds, then core container intialization fails and the node will not recover when zookeeper is available.

 

I believe SOLR-5129 should have addressed this issue, however it doesn't quite do so for two reasons:

1. https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/SolrDispatchFilter.java#L297 it calls SolrZkClient(String zkServerAddress, int zkClientTimeout) rather than SolrZkClient(String zkServerAddress, int zkClientTimeout, int zkClientConnectTimeout) so the DEFAULT_CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT of 30 seconds is used even when you specify a different waitForZk value
2. bin/solr contains script to set -DwaitForZk from the SOLR_WAIT_FOR_ZK environment property https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/bin/solr#L2148 but there is no corresponding assignment in bin/solr.cmd, while SOLR_WAIT_FOR_ZK appears in the solr.in.cmd as an example.

 

I will attach a patch that fixes the above.
