Co-existing solr cloud installations

Hi all,
I would like to use a single zookeeper cluster to manage multiple Solr cloud installations.  However, the current design of how Solr uses zookeeper seems to preclude that.  Have I missed a configuration option to set a zookeeper prefix for all of a Solr cloud configuration directories?

If I look at the zookeeper data it looks like:

 *     /clusterstate.json
 *     /collections
 *     /configs
 *     /live_nodes
 *     /overseer
 *     /overseer_elect
 *     /zookeeper
Is there a reason not to put all of these nodes under some user-configurable higher-level node, such as /solr4?
It could have a reasonable default value to make it just as easy to find as /.

My current issue is that I have an old Solr cloud instance from back in the Solr 1.5 days, and I don't expect that the new version and the old version will play nice.

Thanks,
Dave

ZK has a 'chroot' feature (named after the Unix multi-tenancy feature).

http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.2.2/zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_zkSessions
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-237

The last I heard, this feature could work for making a single ZK
cluster support multiple SolrCloud clusters. Has it been proofed out?

This is really nice.  Thanks for pointing it out.

You can use a connect string of host:port/path to 'chroot' a path. I
think currently you have to manually create the path first though. See
the ZkCli tool (doc'd on SolrCloud wiki) for a simple way to do that.

I keep meaning to look into auto making it if it doesn't exist, but
have not gotten to it.
