Description

CloudSolrServer (solrj) has single point of failure.If the zookeeper node specified into cloud solr server client is down,solr client will fail.
(Since purpose of zookeeper is to avoid such failures and to provide high availability) This seems to be a valid bug,as it violets single point of failure.

Rather CloudSolrServer should accept list of zkHost and should not fail until a single zkHost is up.
