Description

you have to set SOLR_MODE=solrcloud in the /var/solr/solr.in.sh to get the init.d/solr script to start Solr in cloud mode (since it doesn't pass -c). What should happen is that the bin/solr script should assume cloud mode if ZK_HOST is set.

This mainly affects the /etc/init.d/solr script because it doesn't pass the -c | -cloud option. If working with bin/solr directly, you can just pass the -c explicitly to get cloud mode.
